Peyton Watson is joining the Nuggets’ infirmary
After Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Christian Brown, Cam Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas, it’s now his turn Peyton Watson be injured in the squad Denver.
The Athletic indicatesin fact, suffering from a hamstring strain (level 2) and a “long period” of unavailability can already be expected for the 23-year-old winger.
Peyton Watson is injured Wednesday in New York. Just as he was running toward the basket for a layup early in the fourth quarter, he stopped to grab the back of his left thigh. He immediately returned to the locker room and, of course, did not return to the game afterward.
Revelation of the season of the Nuggetsaveraging nearly 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal (up from 42% on 3-pointers), the 30th pick in the 2022 draft is currently doing what it takes to get a significant salary increase.
Without Peyton Watson, Aaron Gordon or Cam Johnson, David Adelman will still have to juggle Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Christian Brown and Spencer Jones at the top five.
