Top Collin Sexton News

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Scores 12 points in return

    Sexton recorded 12 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 win over the Wizards.

    Sexton was cleared to return Tuesday from a seven-game absence due to a left quad strain. He failed to reach the 20-minute benchmark in his return, but he managed to reach double-digit points while doing most of his work from the charity stripe. The Hornets don't play until Friday against the Magic, which gives Sexton more time to work on his conditioning in anticipation of taking on more minutes off the bench.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Available vs. Wizards

    Sexton (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

    After missing seven straight outings with a left quad strain, the veteran guard has been cleared to suit up. Sexton has averaged 15.2 points, 3.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest over his last 13 games. Sion James could see fewer minutes Tuesday with Sexton back in action.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Expected to play Tuesday

    Sexton (quad) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

    After missing seven games in a row with a left quad strain, the veteran guard is on the precipice of returning to the rotation. Sexton has averaged 15.2 points, 3.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest over his last 13 games.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Downgraded to out Monday

    Sexton (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Cleveland.

    This will mark Sexton's seventh consecutive absence due to his quad injury, and there is no clear timetable for his return. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction after receiving doubtful tags ahead of the past two contests. Josh Green and Sion James may see extended run Monday as a result.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Doubtful for Monday

    Sexton (quadriceps) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Sexton appears likely to miss a seventh straight game Monday, and he can be considered highly questionable for the second leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday against the Wizards. Sexton was on a roll to start the campaign, averaging 16.1 points and 4.3 assists in 26.1 minutes, but most of that production came with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Downgraded to out

    Sexton (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit.

    Sexton will be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a strained left quad. Encouragingly, Sexton was listed as doubtful on the Hornets' initial injury report for Saturday's game after being immediately ruled out in each of his previous five absences. His next chance to play will come Monday in Cleveland, which is the first leg of a back-to-back.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Unlikely to play Saturday

    Sexton (quadriceps) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

    Sexton is likely to miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a left quadriceps strain. On a more positive note, this marks the first time he has initially been ruled as doubtful instead of out since sustaining the injury. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sion James, Tre Mann (knee) and KJ Simpson are candidates for increased playing time.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Another absence coming

    Sexton is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a left quadriceps strain.

    Thursday's contest will mark a fifth straight on the shelf for Sexton, whose next opportunity to hit the court arrives Saturday in Detroit. With Tre Mann (knee) also out, Sion James is worth streaming in shallow fantasy leagues and KJ Simpson in deeper formats.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Ruled out for Sunday

    Sexton (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Sexton has been working through a left quad strain and will miss a fourth consecutive game as a result of his injury. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Hawks. Kon Knueppel, Josh Green and Sion James will likely continue to see expanded roles due to the absences of Sexton, LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Tre Mann (knee).

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Unavailable for Friday

    Sexton (quadriceps) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls.

    Sexton is in line for his third straight absence while dealing with a left quad strain. His next chance to take the court will arrive Sunday in Cleveland.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Out again Sunday

    Sexton (thigh) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.

    Sexton will miss a second straight game, and it's not a great sign for his fantasy managers that he's being ruled out a day in advance. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Tre Mann (knee) also out, the Hornets will likely use a committee approach to soak up the backcourt minutes.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Out for Friday

    Sexton has been ruled out for Friday's game in Toronto due to a left thigh strain.

    The Hornets initially labeled Sexton's injury a knee contusion after he was forced out of Wednesday's game, but his injury has now been updated to a thigh strain. His absence from the active roster should open up some minutes for KJ Simpson, Antonio Reeves and Liam McNeeley. For now, Sexton should be considered questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Nuggets.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Won't return Wednesday

    Sexton won't return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a left knee contusion.

    Sexton played nine minutes before leaving this game for good during the second half. He finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one block. If he misses additional time, the Hornets could turn to Antonio Reeves and Sion James.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Instant offense off bench

    Sexton logged 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 116-103 loss to the Nets.

    With Brandon Miller (shoulder) and Tre Mann (ankle) both in street clothes Monday, Sexton scored an efficient 15 points off the bench but didn't see a rise in playing time. The veteran guard is a fine low-end option in points leagues, but his high turnover rate and lack of contributions across the board severely limit his effectiveness in category-based leagues. Sexton has averaged 16.1 points, 4.4 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.6 turnovers per contest in 20 games this season.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Slides to bench

    Sexton will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    The Hornets' entire preferred starting five is healthy Wednesday, pushing Sexton to the second unit after starting Sunday's game against Atlanta. In six appearances with the reserves this season, Sexton is averaging 15.7 points and 3.7 assists across 22.3 minutes.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Starting role Sunday

    Sexton is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

    Sexton will make his 10th start of the season Sunday due to LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) both being sidelined. In his nine previous starts, Sexton averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 28.6 minutes per game.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Sets season high in loss

    Sexton contributed 22 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and four assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 loss to Atlanta.

    After coming off the bench in each of his previous three outings, the eighth-year guard got the starting nod due to LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) being sidelined. Sexton struggled from three-point range but still finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer, setting a new season-high mark in points. He has scored in double figures in 10 straight games and continues to provide an offensive spark for the Hornets. While he'll likely shift to a bench role whenever Ball and Miller are available, Sexton is expected to continue seeing significant minutes.

  • Hornets' Collin Sexton: Leads bench with 18 points

    Sexton posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during the Hornets' 131-116 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.

    Sexton led the Hornets' bench in scoring Saturday and was one of five Hornets players to score at least 18 points. The veteran guard's usage on offense was steady despite the return of Brandon Miller, though Sexton's production could dip as the former's playing time increases. Sexton has averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 steals over 25.7 minutes per game since Nov. 1.
