Peyton Watson Will Have an MRI, Could Miss Significant Time
Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) was forced to leave Wednesday's game after injuring his hamstring, and the breakout star could miss significant time, depending on the results of an MRI. Watson averaged 21.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 36.1 minutes per game in his 18 games since the start of 2026, and he has helped the Nuggets fill in for multiple injuries. Nikola Jokic is back, but Watson was still helping to fill in for Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Cameron Johnson (knee). If Watson also misses time, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. will have to step into more involved roles. The Nuggets also converted Spencer Jones' two-way contract into a standard deal, which would allow him to help fill in as well.
