Peyton Watson will be re-evaluated in four weeks after sustaining a right hamstring strain.

Ok but we still got Hunter Tyson, right? RIGHT?!?!??

Obviously it could very well be more than 4 weeks but I was expecting a “4-6 weeks” report or worse tbh
Sidenote, but by the end of the season, Jamal, thj, bruce, and Spencer will be the only legit rotational guys who won’t have missed at least a month. 3 of those guys are bench players lol
Pretty standard, just glad it wasn’t so bad that the team felt the need to put 6-weeks for reevaluation
4-6 weeks Nuggets persist!
It’s bad but honestly with some of the stuff I was seeing I thought we could be seeing even longer. He’s young and I hope he recovers well. Need our Swatson back.

Re-evaluated in 4 weeks isn’t the worst, hopefully he can come back shortly thereafter.
In the meantime none of our stars should be playing on back to backs. The NBA needs to get rid of these already and this will help force their hand.
It would be amazing if the entire team was healthy for the playoffs
I still expect him back in about 6 weeks. There is no need to rush him or AG back. As long as Nuggets are above the 4th seed they’ll be fine.
I’m tired of this grandpa
Is he now going to always be at risk for re-aggravating his hamstring like AG is? Like does this follow him for his entire career now?
Suffering
Feel for pwat… really starting to come into his own, gets the best playmaker in the league back and immediately goes down. All in a contract year no less. March is going to be curiously crucial for getting these guys clicking before they need to start resting up for the playoffals.
Not my baby P-Wat😭😭😭

I’m out 4 to 6 weeks too
Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity; four weeks from any hamstring
I’m not an insider hence I have honest question – what the hell is physical conditioning/training staff doing in Denver? If you count hamstrings’ and calves’ strains this season, then all your fingers would not be enough, you should start binary finger count as it may reach full 1024…
What even is this season?
I hate how we’ll never know what the season could have been – how dominant this team could have become with a whole season of playing together. Even if they all get healthy and stay healthy and even if they win the Championship, we still won’t really know how much better they might have been with that time.
Because the Kroenke’s insatiable need for more money will obviously “force” them to break up this team over the summer. They won’t allow everyone to stay along with Watson – Championship or not.
Zeke about to average 20-10 with 5 stocks in his 40 minutes a game
might be time to strategically tank to 8th, so you can get the thunder matchup over with at full strength, and if you win it’d be like you were 1st as you face the winner of 4th vs 5th

So who’s our power forward?

Just wake me up when the playoffs start.
