Two Key Nuggets Players Get Injured During Jazz Game
Is this team cursed? The Denver Nuggets have been dealing with significant injuries throughout the entire 2025-26 season, and in game 77, they still cannot catch a break.
The Nuggets are battling the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City on Wednesday night, looking to extend their winning streak to seven games. However, in the first half, both Peyton Watson and Tim Hardaway Jr. exited with injuries.
Watson left Wednesday’s matchup due to right hamstring tightness, and Hardaway Jr. left with left knee soreness, as both key bench players were announced questionable to return.

Two more key injuries for Denver
Watson has been dealing with a hamstring injury for the past two months, and after returning from a 19-game absence because of it, it is obviously still bothering him. However, Watson’s minute restriction was expected to ramp up against the Jazz, suggesting his condition was improving, but he seems to have suffered a setback.
Hardaway Jr., on the other hand, has been one of Denver’s healthiest players this season. Only Hardaway Jr., Bruce Brown, and Jamal Murray have played in 70+ games this season, but the star sixth man got banged up on Wednesday night.
The Nuggets cannot seem to stay healthy, but things were looking up when they finally got their entire rotation healthy at the same time last week. Now, they have suffered multiple injuries in back-to-back games, and with under two weeks left in the regular season, it could not be a worse time for the injury bug to strike again.
The rise of Watson
Watson has been Denver’s most surprising player this season, bursting onto the scene as a rising star. Of course, the 23-year-old wing has shown promise in the past, but he put it to the test this season, making the most of his opportunities while most of the Nuggets roster was banged up.
Before reaggravating his injury on Wednesday, Watson had six points through nine minutes of action on 3-5 shooting from the field. The standout wing has been streaky since returning from injury, so these last handful of regular season games are crucial for him to find a rhythm before the playoffs.
If the Nuggets want to make a deep playoff run, Watson’s two-way impact will be a legitimate x-factor, so the team is undoubtedly hoping that he is feeling fine after leaving Wednesday’s game.
Hardaway Jr.’s impact
Despite being on a veteran minimum contract, Hardaway Jr. has been one of Denver’s most important players this season, as well as one of the NBA’s top sixth men.
Hardaway Jr.’s scoring off the bench has been crucial for the Nuggets, averaging 13.8 points per game while shooting 41% from three-point range. He is tied with Jamal Murray for the most games by a Nugget this season with four or more three-pointers, being one of Denver’s steadiest threats from beyond the arc.
Similar to Watson, if the Nuggets want to have a deep playoff run, Hardaway Jr.’s hot hand off the bench will be key. Keeping both of these guys healthy will be huge for the Nuggets, so they are certainly hoping neither injury is anything serious.
Kaden Davis is taking his talents to the United Football League.
The former Denver Broncos wide receiver signed with the UFL’s Houston Gamblers earlier this week, and he could make his debut as early as Friday evening when the Gamblers face the Columbus Aviators (5:00 p.m. MT on Fox and FuboTV).
Davis (6-1, 193 pounds) entered the league with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Northwest Missouri State in 2022. After spending part of his rookie season on Denver’s practice squad, Davis played for the Michigan Panthers (then of the USFL) in the spring of 2023.
After that, Davis spent time with the Arizona Cardinals (2023) and Detroit Lions (2024) before returning to the Broncos as a member of the practice squad in 2024. He was later cut, re-signed, and cut again by Denver that fall. Davis joined the Cleveland Browns’ practice squad late in the 2024 campaign, and he remained with the Browns in 2025. He’ll now look to impress in the UFL.
Elsewhere on the ex-Bronco front, the San Francisco 49ers signed running back Sincere McCormick, who had a brief stint on Denver’s practice squad last season.
