DENVER—Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin was held out of Friday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers because of a recurrence of left knee tendinitis, joining rookie Ty Lawson, who remains sidelined by a bruised left shoulder.
Martin, whose 9.6 rebounds per game ranks 12th in the league, missed three games last month because of soreness and swelling in the same knee.
Lawson, a key reserve for the Nuggets, missed his third consecutive game. He hasn’t played since banging his shoulder in a collision Sunday with Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum.
