Nuggets' Darrell Arthur: Remains out Sunday

Arthur (knee) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

Analysis:

Arthur has yet to make his preseason debut while he remains limited following arthroscopic knee surgery in September. With Arthur out of the picture, Kenneth Faried has been getting more work on the second unit, as coach Michael Malone has chose to go with an ultra-big starting frontcourt of Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic in the first two preseason contests. If Jokic ends up seeing regular time at power forward when the regular season begins, Arthur's minutes would be negatively affected as a result.
