Trendon Watford Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Trendon Watford (adductor) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. The 25-year-old was diagnosed with a left adductor strain after he made an early exit against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night. Watford has done a solid job for the 76ers this season, averaging 8.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 20.4 minutes. Jabari Walker, Justin Edwards, and Dominick Barlow could get a boost in playing time while Watford recovers from his injury. The latter two started on Tuesday night, but they may find themselves back in the second unit when VJ Edgecombe (calf) and Paul George (knee) return. Both players practiced on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Trendon Watford (adductor) will not return to Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Orlando Magic. With Philly down Joel Embiid (knee), Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), Paul George (ankle) and VJ Edgecombe (calf), Watford was in line for extra action. Unfortunately, he suffered a left adductor strain near the end of the first half, requiring assistance off the floor. Watford would go on to finish with eight points and one rebound in 11 minutes. While it's far too early to speculate, it appears there's a good chance he'll miss extended time, starting with Friday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets, his former team. Fantasy managers could see more minutes from Justin Edwards and Jared McCain, although their stock will fall once George, Edgecombe, Embiid, or Oubre are back in the lineup.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Trendon Watford (hamstring) was held out of Wednesday's practice, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Watford has missed both of the Sixers' preseason games in Abu Dhabi due to a right hamstring strain. The 24-year-old signed a two-year, $5.3 million deal with Philadelphia during the offseason after averaging 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 20.8 minutes across 44 games last season. Once healthy, Watford should be a valuable depth piece in the Sixers' frontcourt rotation moving forward.

Free-agent forward Trendon Watford signed a two-year deal worth $5.3 million with the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, per Shams Charania of ESPN. Watford spent last season with the Nets, posting averages of 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks in 20.8 minutes per contest across 44 outings. The 24-year-old could be a key piece in the 76ers rotation during the 2024-25 campaign and beyond.

Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford (illness) is available on Friday versus the Clippers. He was listed as questionable heading into this one. But the 24-year-old is good to go. Watford had a slow start to the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's carved out a nice role for himself of late, averaging 11.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 11 games in March. With that said, D'Angelo Russell and Cameron Johnson are available, so Watford's fantasy outlook isn't as favorable, although he still warrants some streaming consideration from managers in need of an injury replacement.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Trendon Watford (hamstring) will not play on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. The matchup marks the beginning of a back-to-back set, and Watford will exit the lineup on Saturday to manage a left hamstring injury. Brooklyn's frontcourt will be extremely thin on Saturday, meaning fantasy managers can expect to see plenty of Day'Ron Sharpe and Jalen Wilson. There is a good chance Watford will return to the mix on Sunday when the Nets finish the weekend's back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks.

Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford (hamstring) is reportedly trending in the right direction and could return to the court this week. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since mid-December due to a left hamstring strain. The Nets are considering Watford as day-to-day, which means he could return to the court on Wednesday or Saturday. He has missed over 20 games in a row, so fantasy managers should expect Watford to have a significant minutes limit when he does return. Once back to full speed, Watford could offer some low-end streaming value, but for now he's just worth monitoring.

Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford (hamstring) has resumed individual on court exercises and will be re-evaluated for his hamstring strain in one week. Watford has missed each of Brooklyn's last eight games. When healthy he has averaged 8.3 PPG and 2.8 RPG. With such limited run when active, his fantasy impact has been minimal when healthy and barely noticeable when out. That may change when he's active again given Brooklyn's willingness to trade most of its current roster during its rebuild, but there will still need to be some caution taken given his injury-riddled season. Until Watford returns, expect Ziaire Williams and Day'Ron Sharpe to get more time at forward for the Nets.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Trendon Watford (hamstring) could not complete Monday's contest against Cleveland. He was ruled out for the rest of the game early in the third quarter because of left hamstring soreness. Watford posted eight points in 10 minutes before his premature exit. The 24-year-old missed the start of the season with a left hamstring strain, so this isn't a new issue for him. Watford has contributed 8.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.1 minutes off the bench. Noah Clowney and Day'Ron Sharpe should get additional action on the Nets frontcourt if Watford has to sit on the sidelines for a bit.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Trendon Watford (adductor) has been upgraded from probable to available for Sunday's clash with Sacramento. Watford only recently made his season debut and will suit up for a fourth consecutive game. The 24-year-old has so far averaged 6.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes. Dorian Finney-Smith's (ankle) absence on Sunday might led to Watford having a larger role, but he's not somebody fantasy managers should rush to grab.
