Norwich have only won twice in the league in 2014 and sit four points clear of the bottom three in the table with nine games remaining.
Last weekend Norwich were held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City with Bassong bringing down John Guidetti in the penalty area to allow Jonathan Walters to equalise.
"Overall I have been happy with Seb this season," Hughton said. "It is fair to say he didn't have his best game (against Villa) and he has been involved again on the penalty, but overall I have not been disappointed with his performances.
"He is a big character and we need as many big characters as we can for the challenge ahead.
"He is a big player for us."
