Current injury status

Reported Nov 15

Day-To-DayAbdomen — Torso — SorenessEst. return Nov 16

Watson (abdominal soreness) is questionable to play in Monday's game against the Bulls.

Watson missed Saturday's 127-117 win over Dallas due to a hamstring injury, but he's now dealing with right abdominal soreness. Tyrese Proctor, Mario Hezonja and Meleek Thomas will see an uptick in minutes if Watson remains sidelined Monday.

How it's counted

Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.

True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
