Impact Watson didn't appear in a single game at the NBA level in a stacked Celtics rotation. However, the rookie second-round pick averaged 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.9 minutes in 37 G League outings with the Maine Celtics.

Absent from injury report Watson (thigh) was not listed on the Celtics' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

Sits out Friday with adductor strain Watson was ruled out ahead of Friday's 142-105 win over the Pacers due to a left adductor strain.

Impact The rookie second-round pick out of Gonzaga is on a two-way deal with the Celtics and has yet to make his NBA debut, so his absence Friday had no affect on head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation. Once healthy, Watson will presumably link back up with the G League's Maine Celtics.

Inks two-way deal The Celtics signed Watson to a two-way contract Friday.

Impact Watson was drafted by the Celtics in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft after spending five years at Gonzaga. The rookie forward is now set to split time between the Celtics and their G League affiliate in 2024-25.
