Nuggets' Darrell Arthur: Listed as questionable for Thursday

Arthur (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

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).
