Watson has been nursing a sore Achilles since the final game before the All Star
break, and will now miss at least two games as a result. It is unclear how long
the injury will linger on, so he should continue being considered day-to-day
going forward. Elfrid Payton figures to draw another start in the veteran’s
absence, and pick up extra minutes along with D.J. Augustin. Watson’s next
opportunity to return will be Wednesday versus the Knicks.
