Hickson (knee) won't play Monday, the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey reports.

Analysis:

The Nuggets continue to hold Hickson out, and it would be nice to see him take the court in the near future if he's going to be ready for the start of the regular season. JaVale McGee also remains sidelined, leaving Timofey Mozgov as the Nuggets' only healthy center.
