Magic's C.J. Watson: Leaves Wednesday's game with sore Achilles

Watson is dealing with a sore right Achilles and won't return to Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Analysis:

Watson drew his fourth straight start Wednesday, but a sore Achilles will limit him to just 12 minutes of action, which he finished with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two steals and a turnover. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, but he'll likely have more tests on it following the game. Wednesday marks the Magic's last game before the All-Star break, which means Watson should have about a week off for recovery before a matchup with the Trail Blazers on Feb. 23.
