JJ Hickson tore his ACL

[Powder Blue]

DENVER -- Nuggets forward J.J. Hickson has a torn ligament in his right knee, general manager Tim Connelly said Saturday.

A date for surgery to repair the ACL hasn't been set.

Hickson is the fourth Denver player lost for the season to injury. Danilo Gallinari, JaVale McGee and Nate Robinson have all undergone season-ending operations.

Are you F'in kidding me.....

Far from a fan favorite but I liked his recent production off the bench....unlikely he gets traded this off-season now.

Gotta look on the bright side, at least he can't miss anymore free throws this year and our defense will probably improve with more time to Mozgov and Arthur. Maybe more Chandler at the 4 and Quincy Miller will crack the rotation. But lets be honest, this probably means way too much Anthony Randolph. This team has been doomed, lets at least see what some of the kids can do.

Vesely will get more time. Randolph looked great in the Detroit game, and had a key stop down the stretch.

I wouldn't worry about Hickson's presence in the lineup anymore.....just the future outlook. There's no reason another team wouldn't want to pick Hickson up....just find a team that doesn't have mostly power fowards.

Sucks for Hickson, he's been playing much better since moving to the bench. I'd much rather have him out there than Randolph.

What is up with all these ACLs (Broncos too). Whenever someone goes down from now on, I'm automatically going to assume it's a torn ACL.
