But Arthur works relentlessly on his conditioning and has targeted Dec. 1 for his return to action from the leg fracture he suffered in September.

“I want to get back out there by Dec. 1. But if I can get out there earlier, then I will if I’m feeling good,” Arthur said. “The biggest thing for me is getting back into game shape.”

Arthur had his most recent MRI exam Monday before the Griz departed for their two-game trip. He’s been cleared for low-impact conditioning, meaning Arthur can use the underwater treadmill, run and jog on the court, shoot jump shots, layups and hook shots.
