The next chance for the duo of Darrell Arthur and Gary Harris to see the court comes Monday, when the Nuggets start the first of a five-game road trip in Toronto. And while both are closer to returning, it’s not completely clear just how close they are.

The issue is getting both players through a full practice with no setbacks. To this point, both Harris and Arthur have gone through most of a couple of recent practices but not all of them. Until they do, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said he’ll be hesitant at best about putting them in the game.

Malone on Harris: “It’s good to see him on the court (Friday). And as is always the case, how does he feel the next day. He’s just not there yet. So he’s still out.”

Arthur went through shootaround Saturday, but was not cleared to play. He had already said he was looking forward to trying to play in Toronto and would miss Saturday’s contest. Neither player has taken the court this season. Arthur, who had arthroscopic knee surgery in the summer, has not played in a game of any kind. Harris played 10 minutes of the first preseason game and has been out ever since.

“Gary is a guy that is one of the better young two-way players in the NBA,” Malone said. “We are going to be really smart and prudent about his injury and not rush him back so when he does come back, we can have him for an extended stay.”

What to do with the Skyline? The Nuggets donned their old rainbow skyline uniforms for one time only, on Saturday night. So what happens to the uniforms after that? Emmanuel Mudiay already had plans for his. “I’m taking it home as soon as we’re done with them,” he said, laughing.
