Denver starter leaves Rockets game with injury

The Denver Nuggets entered their game against the Houston Rockets on Monday already on short notice with two starters in Aaron Gordon and Christian Brown sidelined with injury. If the Nuggets want to pull off a win against the Rockets, they may have to do so even less, as starting point guard Peyton Watson has been listed as suspicious to return to play due to injury, per team. Watson is said to have suffered an injury to his right torso. This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
