Hornets' Collin Sexton: Scores 12 points in return
Rotowire
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.

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

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Doubtful for Monday
Rotowire
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: Unlikely to play Saturday
Rotowire
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: Out again Sunday
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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: Instant offense off bench
Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Returning to bench
Rotowire
Sexton isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Sexton drew the start in Saturday's loss to the Thunder due to the absence of LaMelo Ball, but Sexton will retreat to a bench role Monday evening. The Alabama product was effective in his last showing as a reserve, finishing with 14 points and four assists despite logging only 16 minutes in Friday's loss to Milwaukee.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Scores 13 in starting role
Rotowire
Sexton posted 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 109-96 loss to the Thunder.
Sexton got the start at point guard due to the absence of LaMelo Ball (rest). While he didn't have his best shooting performance after needing 13 shots to score 13 points, he had a decent output in peripheral categories. Sexton has been in and out of the starting five, but it wouldn't be surprising if he reverts back to the bench Monday at Toronto if Ball is cleared to return.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Just 16 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Sexton logged 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and four assists over 16 minutes during Friday's 147-134 overtime loss to Milwaukee.
Sexton moved back to the bench with LaMelo Ball returning from his ankle injury. The move impacted Sexton, limiting him to just 16 minutes. While he did manage to score 14 points, the bigger takeaway was the reduced playing time, a fact that could end up with him being nothing more than a streaming consideration. With that said, there is a chance Ball will sit out Saturday's game against the Thunder, meaning Sexton could get a short reprieve.
