Watson finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 0.9 points and 0.3 rebounds across 2.4 minutes per game in nine regular-season outings with New York.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie second-round pick began his career on a two-way contract with the Celtics, but he was waived in March and subsequently claimed by the Knicks. He never logged more than four minutes with New York. However, the 24-year-old forward averaged 12.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.9 minutes per game in 37 G League appearances with the Maine Celtics. He's set to become a restricted free agent this offseason.

The Knicks claimed Watson off waivers Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Watson will be on a two-way deal with New York for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. The former second-round pick played in 21 games for the Maine Celtics in the G League this season, averaging 12.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

The Celtics waived Watson on Sunday, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The No. 54 selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, Watson signed a two-way deal with the Celtics in August but didn't appear in a single game at the NBA level before being cut loose. Watson had been highly involved in the G League and averaged 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 29.9 minutes per game with the Maine Celtics, but the organization evidently wasn't convinced that the 24-year-old forward was worth keeping around for the long haul.

Watson (thigh) was not listed on the Celtics' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Watson had been working through a left adductor strain that had forced him to be sidelined for Boston's last two games. Watson's return won't have any impact on the Celtics' rotation, however, as the rookie second-rounder has yet to appear in an NBA regular-season game.

Watson was ruled out ahead of Friday's 142-105 win over the Pacers due to a left adductor strain.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie second-round pick out of Gonzaga is on a two-way deal with the Celtics and has yet to make his NBA debut, so his absence Friday had no effect on head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation. Once healthy, Watson will presumably link back up with the G League's Maine Celtics.

EDGE Analysis
