Arthur (quad) practiced Wednesday and is expected to play Friday against the Kings, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Arthur missed the Nuggets' last five games leading up to the All-Star break with the quad injury, but his full participation at practice suggests he's back to full health. The 27-year-old is expected to immediately reclaim a spot in coach Mike Malone's rotation as the first or second big man off the bench.
