What happened to Peyton Watson? Live injury updates for Nuggets vs. Knicks on Wednesday 2/4/26

Denver Nuggets NBA

With 8:30 left in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s game against the New York Knicks, Peyton Watson was replaced by Jamal Murray. After making a pass well beyond the three-point line to Nikola Jokic on the left wing, Watson immediately cut to the basket. Unfortunately, he injured his hamstring in the process. Watson limped to the locker room.

Prior to exiting, Watson contributed 10 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes of action.

Spencer Jones was also injured, so the Nuggets are very thin at forward, especially with Aaron Gordon out. If Watson is out for an extended period of time, Bruce Brown would likely be the biggest beneficiary.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
