The Denver Nuggets have suspended forward J.J. Hickson for 5 games next season. His season will now not start on time due to the suspension. The loss is huge for the Nuggets, but they are lucky that they have so much depth at the forwards and Center positions.

The suspension is because of recreational drugs. The Nuggets just found out today about the suspension and Hickson currently has no comment. Hopefully, the suspension will straighten Hickson out and he will back on the court for the Nuggs as soon as possible.
