DECEMBER 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Friday Watford (thigh) won't play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact It was reported at the end of November that Watford would be re-evaluated in two weeks, but the team has yet to provide another update on the timetable for his return. At this point in time, the LSU product can be considered week-to-week until Philly has more news to share on the status of Watford's rehab.

Out for at least two weeks Watford (adductor) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Watford went down during Tuesday's blowout loss to the Magic, and he's since been diagnosed with a left adductor strain. The injury is likely to keep the forward sidelined until the middle of December. With Watford out of action, the 76ers are likely to turn to Dominick Barlow and Justin Edwards to help pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Impact Watford has been shut down for the rest of the night, but he'll have a few days to recover before his team's next matchup Friday against Brooklyn. Jabari Walker and Johni Broome could pick up a few additional minutes in the second half Tuesday in Watford's absence.

Exits early Tuesday Watford went to the locker room during the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an apparent groin injury, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Watford departed with 4:07 remaining in the half after looking to suffer the injury while bringing the ball up the court. He can be considered questionable to return until further notice.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing from second unit Watford logged 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 127-117 loss to the Heat.

Impact The fifth-year forward already has one triple-double this season in a start against the Raptors on Nov. 8, and Watford came within sniffing distance of another as he led the Sixers in assists on the afternoon while finishing second in points and boards. His court time and usage remain inconsistent however, even with Joel Embiid (knee) and Kelly Oubre (knee) on the shelf -- Watford had failed to score in double digits in six straight games coming into Sunday, and he'd posted a goose egg in 14 minutes against the Bucks on Thursday. Until he begins to string solid performances together, Watford will be little more than a cheap DFS option for fantasy purposes.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Bench role Monday Watford is not in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Clippers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Impact Watford started the 76ers' past four games, even posting a triple-double in his first outing of that stretch, but will move back to the bench with Paul George (knee) entering the starting lineup for his season debut Monday. George will be on a minutes restriction early, so Watford should still have a role, though the LSU product will need to maintain a high level of play to keep earning consistent minutes as George ramps up.

Maxey, Embiid lead Philadelphia 76ers to 130-120 win over Toronto Raptors

Tyrese Maxey scored 31 points, Joel Embiid added 29 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Toronto Raptors 130-120

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Logs first triple-double of career Watford finished Saturday's 130-120 win over the Raptors with 20 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 37 minutes.

Impact Watford was inserted into the 76ers' starting lineup for the first time this season, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. He led both teams with career highs in both rebounds and assists en route to the first triple-double of his five-year NBA career, and he finished third on the team in points behind Tyrese Maxey (31) and Joel Embiid (29). Watford's breakout performance Saturday should keep him in the 76ers' starting lineup, at least until Paul George (knee) is cleared to make his 2025-26 debut.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Watford will start in Saturday's game against the Raptors, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact The fifth-year forward will get the starting nod against Toronto, pushing Jabari Walker to the bench. Over five regular-season appearances off the bench thus far, Watford has averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 19.2 minutes per contest.
