Peyton Watson: Breaking News

Watson (hamstring) is out for Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against Minnesota on Thursday. Watson's absence with a right hamstring strain will have now exceeded a month by the time Denver's next contest comes around. If the Nuggets are able to stave off elimination Thursday, Watson's next chance to take the floor would come Saturday in Game 7.

Watson (hamstring) is out for Monday's Game 5 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Timberwolves. Watson has not played in a game since April 1 due to a right hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday, should Denver force a Game 6.

Watson is out for Game 4 on Saturday against Minnesota. Watson will be on the sidelines for a ninth consecutive contest Saturday due to a left hamstring strain, and it doesn't appear that the fourth-year forward is close to returning. The Nuggets should continue to depend more heavily on Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson on the wing Saturday.
