Nicholson will be inactive for Friday's game versus the Lakers, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Nicholson's inactive status coincides with rookie lottery pick Aaron Gordon (foot) being available for Friday's contest against the Lakers. With Gordon back in the fold, it's unclear how Nicholson's role will be managed moving forward, but he's played in merely 18 games this season anyways.
