Arthur has missed all three of the Nuggets' preseason games thus far with a right hamstring strain, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

Arthur, who joined the Nuggets on a two-year contract in August, is expected to remain a factor in the team's frontcourt mix, but he's starting to run out of opportunities to showcase himself in the preseason. Unless Arthur is able to shake off the hamstring injury quickly, he may find himself behind the likes of J.J. Hickson and Nikola Jokic for reserve minutes off the bench when the regular season gets underway.
