Chris Andersen (personal) has been excused from all team-related activities indefinitely.
Andersen's home was searched on Thursday morning in relation to a child pornography investigation. Property was seized from the premises. The Nuggets said they will not comment further until more details are revealed. The Birdman had not appeared in a game since March 25 anyway.

Authorities have searched Chris Andersen's home in relation to a child pornography investigation.
Andersen has not been arrested, but deputies seized property from his house on Thursday morning. No details have been released yet. The Birdman did participate in the Nuggets' shootaround ahead of Thursday night's Game 6 against the Lakers.

There is "definitely a possibility" that the Nuggets will use its amnesty clause on Chris Andersen next season.
Andersen has spent much of the season at the end of Denver's bench, and the move would make sense considering he drew absolutely zero interest on the trade market. He's owed a whopping $9.3 million over the next two seasons and is already 33 years old.

The Nuggets are "trying to deal" Chris Andersen, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The market for Andersen is going to be soft. He's 33, has a history of knee problems and is still owed $9.3 million over the next two seasons. The Warriors reportedly aren't even interested despite their need for size.

Chris Andersen was a DNP-CD on Wednesday.
Starters Kenneth Faried and Timofey Mozgov both played very well, while Kosta Koufos and Al Harrington also had nice lines off the bench. The Nuggets are getting crowded on the front line and it's only going to get worse when Nene and Danilo Gallinari return from their injuries next week.

Coach George Karl said it's hard for Chris Andersen to play in back-to-back games.
Anderson has a history of severe knee issues. He played 29 minutes on Sunday and then was a DNP-CD on Monday. Rookie Kenneth Faried is a better player and an actual part of the Nuggets' future core anyway.

Chris Andersen did not play due to coach's decision on Monday against the Wolves.
Andersen had been playing well, but maybe he got benched for taking his eyes off of Kevin Durant in the last seconds of Sunday's loss. Either way, our condolences go out to those who took a flier on him during the Nuggets' three-game week.

The Nuggets have reportedly made Chris Andersen available via trade.
Nene and Timofey Mozgov are the Nuggets' starting frontcourt, and they just signed Kosta Koufos to a three-year extension, which makes Birdman somewhat expendable. The depth he provides is a nice luxury, but Denver would also love to be rid of the $9.5 million he's owed through 2014.

Chris Andersen scored six points on 2-of-5 shooting with 11 rebounds and a block in 22 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.
Andersen had 16 points and six blocks on Tuesday and is worth a look for spot-action as long as Nene (calf) and Timofey Mozgov (ankle) are out. The same goes Kenneth Faried, who is starting and put up 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting with three rebounds and a steal in 21 minutes last night.

Chris Andersen blew up for season highs of 16 points and six blocks to go along with seven rebounds and a steal in Tuesday's win.
Wow. This was tough to see coming, as Birdman didn't even play in his previous two games and had two points in 14 minutes the last time he was on the court. Nene could miss a few more games with his calf injury, but if you want to roll the dice on Andersen, he could easily be a bust. Tonight looks like a fluke against a struggling Suns team.
