Nuggets' Darrell Arthur: Ruled out Thursday

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

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 sitting, the Nuggets will be shorthanded at forward. That should result in increased minutes for the likes of Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, Nikola Jokic and Juan Hernangomez.
