Day-To-DayHamstring — Leg — StrainEst. return Oct 1
The Nuggets have offered Watson (hamstring) $70 million over five seasons, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
This offer comes in well below the $25 million annually that Watson was seeking. Christian Braun previously received a five-year, $125 million deal from the Nuggets and was clearly outplayed by Watson in 2025-26, but Denver holds the leverage here for their restricted free agent -- Watson's top suitors currently don't have the cap space to sign him.
