THE SIDELINES : Nuggets Plan to Sign Higgins
The Nuggets plan to sign former Northern Colorado forward Mike Higgins, waived by the Lakers earlier this month, to a 10-day contract Friday to shore up their injury-riddled front court.
“He’s temporary unless he proves otherwise,” said Jon Spoelstra, Nuggets president and general manager.
Higgins, a 6-foot-9 forward, agreed to terms Wednesday but can’t sign the agreement until Friday under NBA rules.
Denver forward Danny Schayes is out until mid-January after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on both ankles. Forward Tim Kempton suffered a sprained right ankle in Tuesday’s victory over Philadelphia.
