What changed
Minutes+9.7Probably real
Watkins's playing time is up 9.7 minutes a game over his 29 games since Jan 30 (25.0 vs 15.3). Most of it is a teammate's absence: CJ McCollum (31 MPG before) left the team, plus 2 more key players out. Probably real: about 70% should hold.

OutWatkins, a two-way player for the Wizards, suffered the injury during the Summer League. Although Washington has yet to offer a timetable for a return, a typical recovery time for the procedure is approximately 9-to-12 months. That leaves Watkins in serious jeopardy of missing most, if not all, of the 2026-27 season, and it remains to be seen if the team will continue keeping him around on a two-way roster spot while he's injured. Expected back: 2027-04-01.
