Pours in 21 while hobbled Watford had 21 points (7-19 FG, 2-3 3PT), eight rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes Saturday but it wasn't enough as LSU lost to Florida 83-79.
Impact Watford was visibly hobbling and favoring his right leg during Saturday's loss and it could be something to keep an eye on before the Tigers face Georgia on Dec. 6. Whatever was bothering him didn't necessarily slow him down as the 6-9 sophomore topped 20 points and eight rebounds for the third time this season. Watford had been battling a lower leg issue that forced him to miss a game a few weeks back but hopefully should be fine to play in the team's upcoming game Wednesday,

Strong effort in return Watford (lower leg) had 22 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes in Saturday's victory over Nicholls State.
Impact Watford saw out LSU's last game and was even spotted on the sidelines with a walking boot, but whatever injury he was tending to doesn't appear to be overly serious given Saturday's strong performance. The LSU frontcourt is returning to full strength with Josh LeBlanc eligible and Shareef O'Neal back from an undisclosed issue, but Watford undoubtedly remains the leading man.
