Darrell Antwonne Arthur (born March 25, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks for two seasons where he was part of the 2007–08 national championship team. He was originally drafted by the New Orleans Hornets in the 2008 NBA draft but after two trades, he ended up with the Memphis Grizzlies, with whom he signed on July 8, 2008.[1] He is listed at 6'9", 235 lb (107 kg) and plays the power forward position.

Arthur is the first cousin of fellow basketball player Quinton Ross.[2]

High school career

In high school, Arthur guided South Oak Cliff High School to back-to-back Texas 4A state titles in 2005 and 2006 and was the tournament's MVP both years. However, it was later determined that the school illegally changed player's grades to keep them eligible and the titles have since been forfeited.[3] He went on to earn McDonald's All-American and third-team Parade All-American honors in 2006.

Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Arthur was listed as the No. 3 power forward and the No. 16 player in the nation in 2006.[4]

College career

Arthur's uniform number in college was 00, making him the first Jayhawk to wear that number since Greg Ostertag. Following his freshman season in 2006–07, he was named to the Big 12 All-Rookie team.

After winning the 2008 NCAA championship, Arthur was named to the All-Big 12 first team.

Professional career

Memphis Grizzlies (2008–2013)

Arthur was selected by the New Orleans Hornets as the 27th overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft, but was promptly traded to the Portland Trail Blazers for cash. The Trail Blazers then traded Arthur to the Houston Rockets for draft rights to 25th overall pick Nicolas Batum. Soon afterwards, the Rockets traded Arthur to the Memphis Grizzlies for draft rights to the 28th overall pick Donté Greene.[5]

On September 3, 2008, Arthur and fellow former Kansas Jayhawks teammate Mario Chalmers were excused from NBA's Rookie Training Camp following a marijuana-related incident.[6] Police responding to their hotel room following a fire alarm at 2:00 a.m. claimed that the room smelled strongly of marijuana but none was found and no charges were filed. Fellow NBA rookie Michael Beasley was also reported to have been in the room at the time, but was not asked to leave camp.[7][8] Beasley was later fined $50,000 for his involvement in the incident[9] Arthur later released a statement denying any involvement with marijuana.[10] Arthur was later fined $20,000 by the league for missing the rookie camp, but was not fined or suspended for any drug-related violations.[11]

On June 29, 2012, the Grizzlies extended a qualifying offer to Arthur, making him a restricted free agent.[12]

Denver Nuggets (2013–present)

On June 27, 2013, Arthur was traded to the Denver Nuggets along with 55th overall draft pick Joffrey Lauvergne in exchange for Kosta Koufos.[13] On June 23, 2014, he exercised his player option for the 2014–15 season.[14]

On August 7, 2015, Arthur re-signed with the Nuggets.[15] On March 31, 2016, he tied a career high with 24 points off the bench in a 101–95 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.[16]

On July 9, 2016, Arthur again re-signed with the Nuggets.[17]
