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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
