Arthur (knee) posted seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 13 minutes in a 123-98 win over the Clippers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has been sidelined off and on this season due to persistent pain in both knees, with his latest bout with the injury keeping him out for the previous four contests. While the 28-year-old gave the Nuggets some quality minutes off the bench Saturday, he doesn't stand to see much of an uptick in court time with Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, Wilson Chandler typically ahead of him in the pecking order at either forward spot. Moreover, Arthur's constant absences due to the sore knees will make him somewhat unreliable to suit up from game to game.

Arthur (knee) will be available to play in Saturday's game against the Clippers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur continues to deal with soreness in his left knee, so he'll have a minutes restriction Saturday as a result. Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler figure to see a bulk of the minutes at power forward while Arthur provides further depth.

Arthur (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Adam Mares of DenverStiffs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has missed the team's last four games with with knee soreness, but appears to be making progress after receiving a doubtful tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Spurs. Look for the Nuggets to provide a further update on Arthur's status following the team's shootaround Saturday morning, but he'll likely end up being a game-time decision.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur came into Thursday with a doubtful designation, so he was never expected to take the court against the Spurs. He'll continue to receive treatment on his ailing knee, with the hope of being cleared for Saturday's game against the Clippers. With Wilson Chandler (personal) also out, Kenneth Faried and Juan Hernangomez should take on the majority of the power forward minutes.

Arthur (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur has already missed three straight contests with soreness in his left knee, so Thursday's absence will bring that streak to four. The Nuggets are also slated to be without Wilson Chandler (personal) in the frontcourt, which should mean added minutes for guys like Kenneth Faried and Juan Hernangomez. Look for confirmation on Arthur's status following Thursday's morning shootaround.

Arthur (knee) will miss Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday will be Arthur's third straight missed game, as he is having trouble overcoming soreness in his left knee. However, with Denver's frontcourt being as deep as it is, it could be that the Nuggets are playing it safe with the forward in an effort to avoid worsening the injury. Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler should pick up additional minutes with Arthur out. His next chance to return will be Thursday against the Spurs in San Antonio.

Arthur (knee) will sit out Monday's game against the Magic, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur already missed Thursday's game against the Pacers with a sore knee and despite having the weekend off for rest and recovery, he's still not ready to give it a go. The Nuggets are going into a back-to-back set on Monday and Tuesday, which could mean they're just playing it safe with Arthur and don't want to force him into too big of a workload too soon. That said, Arthur could be available come Tuesday's matchup with the Lakers. Look for Wilson Chandler and Kenneth Faried to take on a bigger role with Arthur out.

EDGE Analysis
This is the first we've heard of the injury, but it likely popped up sometime earlier in the week during practice. With Thursday's game in London tipping off at 3:00 PM ET, word on Arthur's status should come within the next few hours.
