Arthur (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Warriors, TJ McBride of BSN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Initially deemed questionable with a sore knee, Arthur will be held out Thursday, marking his third consecutive absence. With Will Barton (ankle) and Wilson Chandler (hamstring) also, the Nuggets will be shorthanded up front. That should result in increased minutes for the likes of Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried and Nikola Jokic.

EDGE Analysis

Despite originally being considered probable for Tuesday's outing versus the Grizzlies, Arthur was ultimately held out, as he continues to work his way back from left knee soreness following arthroscopic surgery. He's yet to be fully cleared for a return, but his listing as questionable seems to indicate he's nearing full strength. His availability for shootaround Thursday should give us a better indication of his status against the Warriors, but for now, consider him questionable for that matchup. Even when healthy, Arthur is slated to play just a small role off the bench.

Arthur has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

A sore left knee kept Arthur out of a few games earlier this season, but it remains to be seen if that's the reason he's being held out Tuesday. Arthur didn't see any playing time Sunday versus the Celtics on what was considered a coach's decision, so there definitely appears to be some sort of lingering issue here. That said, he'll sit out Tuesday, but could be available as soon as Thursday's matchup with the Warriors.

Arthur is considered probable to play Tuesday against Memphis, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur made his season debut Thursday against the Timberwolves, playing nine minutes and finishing with two points and two rebounds. He followed up with three points in seven minutes Saturday in Detroit but was held out entirely of Sunday's matchup with Boston. The team did not provide a reason for the absence, but it appears coach Mike Malone was simply building in a night of rest for Arthur, as he continues to build strength in his knee. Expect Arthur to be available Tuesday, but he's unlikely to play enough minutes to hold significant value in daily contests.

Arthur (coach's decision) didn't see the court in Sunday's 123-107 win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets raced out to a huge lead by halftime, so it appears coach Michael Malone's decision to keep Arthur on the sideline was simply an attempt to give him some rest for the second half of a back-to-back set. Considering that Arthur had missed all of the preseason along with the Nuggets' first three regular-season contests while recovering from offseason knee surgery, it's no surprise that Malone has elected to act cautiously with the forward. That being said, Arthur only saw seven- and nine-minute outings in his lone appearances this season, so when available, he won't hold down a major role in the Nuggets' rotation.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier this week, Arthur was listed as questionable heading into Thursday's contest, but after logging a full practice Wednesday without feeling any lingering issues, it appears he's been cleared for a return to the court. Arthur, who's missed all three games to start the season, will make his debut against the Timberwolves, although it wouldn't be surprising if minutes were limited early on. He'll slot in as a depth option in the frontcourt.

Arthur (knee) made it through a full practice Wednesday and is on track to make his season debut Thursday against Minnesota, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

A sore left knee has kept Arthur out of action to date, but the veteran is trending in the right direction as Thursday's contest approaches. The Nuggets continue to list the Kansas product as questionable, however, and a final call on his status likely won't be made until shootaround Thursday. If Arthur does, indeed, play, look for him to be limited to around 12-to-15 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur looks to be very close to making his season debut, as he's gone through the Nuggets' morning shootaround in both of the last two games before being ultimately ruled out. He experienced some swelling with his left knee last week that derailed an earlier return, but with a few more days off to recover, Arthur could finally take the court Thursday. If available, Arthur would likely be only asked to pick up a few minutes off the bench behind the Nuggets' top three big men (Nikola Jokic, Jusuf Nurkic and Kenneth Faried).

Arthur (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Raptors, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Arthur was able to take part in the team's morning shootaround Monday, but has opted to remain sidelined for another game to avoid any sort of further aggravation. Considering he was able to take part in the shootaround, he's likely not far off from a return, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minute restriction once available in order to ease him back into action. Arthur is slated to provide depth at both forward spots for the Nuggets this season.

Arthur (knee) will participate in Monday's shootaround before a decision regarding his playing status is made, but he hopes to play 12-to-15 minutes Monday against Toronto, Chris Dempsey of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

All signs are pointing towards Arthur being ready to play in a limited fashion Monday, but the team won't know for sure until after the team completes its morning shootaround. So, while Arthur should still be considered a game time decision, even if he is made active, his contributions will be limited against the Raptors given the minutes restriction.
