Watson (adductor) played the final 1:26 of Thursday's 134-117 win over the Warriors, recording no statistics during his time on the court.
EDGE Analysis
The garbage-time cameo marked Watson's seventh appearance with the Nuggets this season and his first at either the NBA or G League level since Jan. 2. Watson was sidelined for nearly three weeks in January with a left adductor strain, but he was cleared a week ago and has been available for the Nuggets' past five games.

Watson (thigh) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Watson was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to a left thigh strain, but he feels strong enough to play if called upon. He hasn't factored into the rotation much this season, as his last game action dates back to Nov. 25 against the Clippers.

Watson (thigh) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the team's past 28 contests, Watson's injury status has officially improved to questionable for Tuesday's matchup. Even if the rookie forward is available to suit up against the Pelicans, it would not be surprising to see the Nuggets take it easier with Watson, making him an unappealing fantasy option for the time being.

Watson has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to a left adductor strain.
EDGE Analysis
Watson landed on the injury report Wednesday with the adductor strain and will be sidelined for at least one game. The rookie has spent the majority of the campaign at the G League level, so his absence shouldn't impact the NBA club.
