Arthur (illness) won't take the court Tuesday at New Orleans, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur was absent from morning shootaround due to a sinus infection, which will keep him out of Tuesday's subsequent contest. While his next opportunity to play arrives Wednesday in San Antonio, the injury-plagued Nuggets frontcourt will rely upon Kenneth Faried, J.J. Hickson, Nikola Jokic, and Danilo Gallinari to handle Pelicans star Anthony Davis.
