Watson (Achilles) returned to practice Thursday, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Watson has missed the last three games with a sore Achilles, but his return to practice is certainly a step in the right direction. It's unclear if he'll be hold an active designation for Friday's matchup with the Heat, but if he is able to play, the 32-year-old would likely see reduced minutes as he works back up to speed.
