Coach Michael Malone said Watson (hamstring) participated fully in practice for the first time in five weeks Sunday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Watson is dealing with a nagging hamstring injury, though his full participation in practice bodes well for his potential return to game action in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Thunder. The 22-year-old was limited during training camp and did not appear in a single preseason game, but he will likely return for Opening Night as the club's backup power forward behind Aaron Gordon.
