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

EDGE Analysis

The big man remained limited at Tuesday's practice, so it's not necessarily surprising that he's been ruled out for Wednesday's opener. The hope is that he'll be ready to return for Saturday's home matchup with the Trail Blazers, but at this point Arthur should be considered questionable. In his absence, expect Kenneth Faried to see a mild minutes boost off the bench behind Nikola Jokic.
