This is a worrying sign for Watson, who has had this lingering issue in his right hamstring since late February. Hopefully it’s just a precaution, and no further damage has been done.

Before exiting, Watson played nine minutes. He scored six points and added three rebounds before being replaced by Aaron Gordon.
