Overwatered or underwatered or sun damage?


I am in phoenix Arizona and I have a ficus nitida tree, recently seeing black spots on my leaves. The tree gets watered twice a week for 4 hours with pencil stream of water but recently have been forgetting to turn water off and aciddentaly left water running for a couple of more hours than it should. This has happened twice now. I see a lot more of these spots on the south west side of my tree and wondered could this be a sign of sun damage? With Arizonas hot summer thats going on im also worried that it is underwatered. Is this tree overwatered, underwatered or sun damaged? And what would you recommend i do to fix it?
