Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Out at least four weeks

The Nuggets announced Monday that Watson will be re-evaluated in four weeks due to a right knee sprain he sustained in Friday's 137-134 win over the 76ers, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports.

Watson is a key part of the Nuggets' second unit, and his absence will likely force the Nuggets to lean more heavily on Julian Strawther and Zeke Nnaji off the bench. The 22-year-old has averaged 8.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 24.1 minutes per game over 48 appearances on the season. A clearer timeline for his return should come into focus once he's re-evaluated in early March.
