@yetundejonesLast season, Jamir Watkins was a rookie who started on a two-way contract with the Wizards. He started 7 of the 50 games he played and averaged 7.4 points. By February, he had his two-way contract converted to a standard NBA contract. With the Wizards stacked for next season with AJ Dybantsa, Trae Young, and Anthony Davis, Watkins knew he had to prove himself in Summer League to keep his spot. In his first game, Watkins tore his ACL defending Darryn Peterson during the first 2 minutes of the game 😬 While some can barely walk or jump after immediately suffering that kind of injury, Watkins checked back in the game 68 seconds later. He'd play 17 more minutes, defended Peterson full court, and even had a dunk 👀 Watkins had surgery on his left ACL last July 29 and is expected to be out the entire season. But after watching him finish a game, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back on the court soon. There's tough. Then there's Jamir Watkins tough 💪
