C.J.

C.J. Watson has the same pregame routine these days. He limps towards the training room and gets treatment. Usually it consists of ice for his sprained left ankle and, in some cases, a pain-killing injection. He gets the ankle taped, goes out and plays 30-35 minutes, and then shoves the same ankle back into a vat of ice before getting more treatment.
