Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson is listed as questionable for their Sunday game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The reason? Ankle soreness, which has been bothering him lately. This is something to watch out for, especially for Nuggets fans.

Watson already sat out Friday’s game due to soreness in both ankles. The team is likely being cautious, especially with the long season ahead. His availability, or lack thereof, definitely has some fantasy basketball implications, considering the Nuggets are already dealing with a somewhat thin frontcourt rotation.

If Watson ends up being sidelined again, expect some adjustments to the Nuggets’ lineup. In Friday’s game against Milwaukee, Zeke Nnaji stepped up big time, putting up 11 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and blocking two shots in a whopping 37 minutes of play. If Watson remains out, Nnaji could be in line for another significant role for Denver.

Another player who could see increased playing time is Julian Strawther. Strawther would likely remain in the starting group if Watson is unable to go. Keep an eye on him to possibly contribute more on the offensive end.

There’s also Spencer Jones, who offers what some might call a volatile appeal. His minutes are highly dependent on the situation, so his performance could be a bit unpredictable. However, he’s definitely a player to watch if injuries continue to plague the Nuggets. Right now, Watson’s outlook is shaky, particularly given the multiple injuries the Denver Nuggets are currently managing. We’ll have to wait and see what the final word is before Sunday’s tip-off.
