Like several Chicago players this season, Watson has had his share of injury problems. He missed over 10 games back in January and another two in February. At this stage, there is no word on how long the ankle injury might keep Watson out, and Tuesday is an off day for the team.
Watson is averaging 9.8 points and 3.9 assists per game this season.
