Denver Nuggets forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili has once again asked to be traded.  Tskitishvili had asked to be traded prior to the season, but backed off his demand as the season began.

On Tuesday, he reiterated his desire to be dealt by the Feb. 24 deadline.

"That's what I wish for," Tskitishvili said before the Nuggets faced Seattle at Key Arena. "I want to go to a team where I can play and they also say they're going to use me next year."

Tskitishvili has barely played this season, entering Tuesday having appeared in only 16 games while averaging 1.7 points. He was optimistic about getting a lengthy stint Monday night at Golden State, but that didn't happen.

The Nuggets were without three post players, leaving Kenyon Martin and Tskitishvili as the only two left. But Tskitishvili still played only 10 minutes, going scoreless.

"I was expecting more playing time," Tskitishvili said. "I guess I made some mistakes and coach doesn't like mistakes."
