In the second quarter of Wednesday’s game vs. the Jazz, the Nuggets announced that Peyton Watson is questionable to return to the game with right hamstring tightness. There is no mention of how the injury occurred or the extent of it.

This is a worrying sign for Watson, who has had this lingering issue in his right hamstring since late February. Hopefully it’s just a precaution, and no further damage has been done.

Before exiting, Watson played nine minutes. He scored six points and added three rebounds before being replaced by Aaron Gordon.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on his injury.
