Watson (side) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Watson was unable to play against the Magic on Thursday due to a right trunk contusion, but he may limit his absence to one game if he's cleared to return Saturday. He was in the Nuggets' starting lineup in the 14 games prior to Thursday's contest, and over that span he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 blocks over 30.2 minutes per game.

Watson (side) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic. Watson is dealing with a right trunk contusion, which will result in him missing his first game of the season. He has started in each of the Nuggets' last 14 games, so his absence opens the door for Tim Hardaway or Zeke Nnaji to enter Denver's starting lineup. Watson's next opportunity to play is Saturday against the Rockets.

Watson (side) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Magic. Watson suffered a right trunk contusion during Monday's win over Houston and was unable to return, which resulted in Tim Hardaway starting the second half. However, Hardaway is also questionable for Thursday's game with an illness, so if both these guys are out, Bruce Brown could receive major minutes as a starter. Check back for another update on Watson closer to Thursday's tip.

Watson (side) didn't return to Monday's game against the Rockets. He finished the night with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one steal in six minutes before exiting. Watson was diagnosed with a right trunk contusion and never returned after departing during the first half. Head coach David Adelman stated after the game that Watson is dealing with a stinger, and the injury shouldn't cause a long-term absence, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette. Watson can be considered day-to-day until further notice.
