Pacers' Watson out at least 2 weeks with bruised foot

At this rate, the Indiana Pacers may need to borrow a few fans to fill out their bench to start the regular season.

On the same day it was announced that George Hill will miss at least three weeks and David West will miss at least three games, the Pacers announced that guard C.J. Watson will miss at least the next two weeks because of a bruised right foot.

Watson averaged 6.6 points, 1.7 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in roughly 19 minutes per game last season, but the Pacers could have used a little more of him with Paul George and George Hill out, and Lance Stephenson now in Charlotte.

With injuries ravaging the team's backcourt, only Rodney Stuckey, C.J. Miles and Donald Sloan remain as healthy guard options.
