Arthur (illness) is doubtful to play Wednesday against Miami, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur is still dealing with the illness that limited him at Tuesday's practice, and at this point it appears as though the big man will not be available Wednesday night. In his expected absence, Kenneth Faried, Juan Hernangomez and NIkola Jokic could each see a slight increase in minutes.

Arthur is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur is dealing with an illness that limited him at Tuesday's practice, and his status won't be decided until the team has a chance to evaluate him at shootaround Wednesday. After battling a knee issue and seemingly falling out of the rotation for a brief period, Arthur has played 16, 20 and 21 minutes over Denver's last three games, respectively.

Arthur (coach's decision) didn't play in Tuesday's 110-107 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur's last appearance came back on Nov. 5 against the Pistons before he suffered a setback with his surgically-repaired left knee, but any soreness he's experienced has since dissipated. Despite being available off the bench for the last four games, Arthur has yet to see the floor, an indication that he's not a member of coach Michael Malone's rotation.

Arthur (knee) will be available Friday against the Raptors, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur was cleared to play Wednesday but never ended up stepping on the court. The same could happen Friday night as the forward has been cleared to play after being ruled probable heading into the game. If he does play, he may see his minutes closely monitored, leaving him little opportunity to make a fantasy impact.

Arthur (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's outing versus the Raptors, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur was cleared for Wednesday's game against the Suns and was expected to be on a minutes restriction, but never ended up getting on the court. It's unclear if the coaching staff was just being extra cautious with his injury or if he's just not expected to make much of an impact, so he's a player to avoid moving forward despite likely being available.

Arthur (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Suns, but will be on a minutes restriction, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur was upgraded to probable on Wednesday morning, but coach Mike Malone has decided to take precautionary measures with the power forward. Arthur was a depth option in the Nuggets' frontcourt anyway, so his impact will likely be limited with or without a restriction moving forward.

Arthur (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur was initially deemed questionable, but he's now listed as probable following Wednesday's shootaround. The Kansas product has missed the last five contests and has seen only limited minutes when healthy, so he's best avoided in most fantasy formats unless his role increases.

Arthur (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nuggets continue to handle Arthur on a game-to-game basis, but the fact that he's missed the last five contests isn't exactly encouraging. That said, with two full days off before Wednesday's contest, it's possible that Arthur's knee could have made tangible progress. Look for a more definitive update following Wednesday's shootaround.

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Arthur continues to deal with swelling in his surgically-repaired left knee and it was recently reported that he has no timetable set for a return. That said, his absence Sunday was fully expected and he should continue to be considered day-to-day moving forward until more information is provided. Once healthy, Arthur will be a depth option in the Nuggets' frontcourt.

Arthur is dealing with swelling in his knee and has no immediate date set for his return, T.J. McBride of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a good sign that Arthur is only dealing with swelling in his surgically-repaired left knee, although he's missed the last three games and the team is apparently in no hurry to rush him back to the court. During his undefined absence, Kenneth Faried will continue to serve as Denver's first frontcourt option off the bench.
