Arthur (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was previously reported earlier in the week that Arthur, who didn't travel with the team to Houston ahead of Monday's game against the Rockets, was without a firm timetable for a return, so the questionable designation shouldn't necessarily be taken as evidence that he'll have a decent chance at suiting up Wednesday. Arthur, who has been out for the past four games with left knee soreness, will likely need to put in a full practice or two before having a realistic shot at seeing game action.

Arthur (knee), who's been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets, remains without a concrete timetable for a return, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur reportedly didn't travel with the team to Houston and it sounds like he could be in line to sit out at least a few more games. The Nuggets did say they're expecting him to be back before the end of the season, although that's not necessarily encouraging for speedy return. He'll remain without any sort of timetable for a return, which should mean more minutes for Juancho Hernangomez, Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler (groin) once he's healthy.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur will miss a fourth straight game Monday, as he continues to deal with a sore left knee. He's yet to be given any sort of timetable for a return, so he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis and likely won't be cleared until he's able to take part in a full practice. With Arthur sidelined, Juancho Hernangomez could pick up a few extra minutes behind Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler (groin) at power forward.

Arthur is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Rockets with knee soreness, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has been sidelined for the Nuggets' last two games for what the team labeled as rest, but it was always suspected that he was dealing with a knee-related issues, which have hobbled the forward periodically throughout the season. Dempsey's report backs up that notion, and the Nuggets may opt to hold Arthur out for additional contests beyond Saturday in order to aid his recovery. With Kenneth Faried (back) recently returning from an injury and the recently-acquired Mason Plumlee showing that he can play capably alongside starting center Nikola Jokic, Arthur's services off the bench may not be needed once he's healthy again.

Arthur (rest) will be sidelined for Thursday's tilt against the Clippers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur will sit for a second consecutive game for rest purposes, despite Wilson Chandler (groin) Danilo Gallinari (knee) being listed as out and Kenneth Faried (back) listed as questionable. As a result, coach Michael Malone will likely have to get creative with his rotation, possibly playing Juancho Hernangomez big minutes, giving Will Barton run at the power forward, and/or leaving Nikola Jokic and Mason Plumlee on the floor together for extended periods.

Arthur (rest) will not play in Monday's game against the Lakers, Adam Mares of Vice Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur's projected absence appears to be strictly correlated to rest. The expectation is that he'll be a full go for the Nuggets next game against the Clippers on Thursday. In the meantime, it looks as if Juancho Hernangomez could be in line to get the start.

Arthur failed to score (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and added three steals, two rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes in a 129-109 win over the Nets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Though he was dealing with an illness heading into the Nuggets' back-to-back set, Arthur was cleared to play in both contests, but he failed to see the floor in Thursday's loss to the Kings. With the Nuggets rolling to an easy win Friday, coach Michael Malone was able to empty the bench and get Arthur some run, but the forward failed to do much during his time on the court. Arthur may have a better chance at claiming some extra minutes Sunday against the Grizzlies if Kenneth Faried's back injury forces him to sit out.

Arthur (illness) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Kings, Ally Sturm of Altitude TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Arthur is healthy, he may not see the 21.0 minutes per game that he's been averaging over his past four appearances moving forward, considering that the Nuggets have both Kenneth Faried (ankle) and Wilson Chandler (illness) also available. His minutes and production are worth monitoring moving forward, considering the Nuggets have rarely boasted a fully healthy frontcourt this season.

Arthur is dealing with an illness and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur missed the final two games prior to the All-Star break with a knee injury and while he's fully recovered from that ailment, he's now come down with an illness. He'll continue to receive treatment over the next 24 hours with the hope of being cleared for Thursday, although we might not get a final word on his availability until after the team's morning shootaround.

Arthur (knee) took part in a full practice Tuesday and expects to be available for Thursday's game against the Kings, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur missed the final two games prior the All-Star break with a knee injury, but the added time off has given him enough time to make a full recovery. He went through practice Tuesday and as long as he doesn't suffer from any residual soreness following the increase in activity, Arthur should be good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Kings.
