The Jazz announced Tuesday that Sexton will be re-evaluated in one week after spraining his left ankle during the first quarter of Monday's 112-111 loss to the Pacers.
Sexton played just three minutes Monday before exiting the game with the injury. Though X-rays ruled out any structural damage to his ankle, Sexton's sprain is considered significant enough to keep him out for at least a few games and possibly through the All-Star break. Keyonte George started the second half of Monday's game in Sexton's stead and could see elevated minutes during the latter's absence along with Isaiah Collier and Jordan Clarkson.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Exits to locker room Monday
Rotowire
Sexton went back to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left ankle injury in the first quarter of Monday's game against Indiana, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Sexton limped back to the locker room after appearing to roll his left ankle on a drive to the basket. If the 26-year-old is unable to return, Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson should pick up the slack the rest of the way.
Sexton recorded 22 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and eight assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 victory over Orlando.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Contributes 19 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton had 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 30 minutes during Thursday's 138-113 loss to Minnesota.
The 26-year-old finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Keyonte George (23 points), albeit in a blowout loss. Sexton has been solid through 13 appearances in January, during which he has averaged 21.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 30.8 minutes per contest. With the rebuilding Jazz positioned to be sellers at the Feb. 6 trade deadline, the seventh-year pro could be a candidate to be moved with the club likely to rely more heavily on its young core.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Drops 30 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton notched 30 points (12-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to Golden State.
The Jazz were missing most of their key contributors Tuesday for the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Sexton to soak up a ton of usage. A lot of players in Utah are seeing their names in the rumor mill with the team positioned to be sellers, and Sexton is one of them. His fantasy value can swing in a big way in either direction depending on how the deadline goes.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Goes for 19 points Monday
Rotowire
Sexton ended with 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 125-110 loss to Milwaukee.
Sexton was one of the few standout performers for the Jazz in yet another loss, though at least the veteran guard continues to be consistently productive despite the team's overall struggles. Sexton has surpassed the 15-point mark in 17 outings in a row, a stretch in which he's posted a solid stat line of 21.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the floor.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Struggles from deep Saturday
Rotowire
Sexton produced 20 points (5-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 125-103 loss to Memphis.
Sexton had a decent stat line on the surface, but it was impossible to overlook his shooting woes, as he missed 12 of his 17 shots, including all but one from beyond the arc. Truthfully, the fact that he went 9-for-10 from the charity stripe salvaged what would've otherwise been a woeful fantasy line. Despite the shooting woes, Sexton remains awfully consistent as a scoring weapon for the rebuilding Jazz and has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight appearances.

Sexton (rest) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Sexton won't play Monday against the Pelicans due to rest purposes, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
The Jazz will be missing several regulars Monday and Sexton has been a late addition to the list due to rest-related reasons. This means Isaiah Collier and Svi Mykhailiuk could be in line to log more minutes. Sexton's next chance to play will come against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Resting Wednesday
Rotowire
Sexton has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets for rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will get a night off for the first time this season, but he should be back in action for Friday's game against the Pelicans. With the 26-year-old guard joining a long list of Jazz players already ruled out for Wednesday's game due to injuries, reserve guards such as Isaiah Collier, Svi Mykhailiuk and Elijah Harkless are all candidates to move into larger roles.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Another 20-point outing Saturday
Rotowire
Sexton logged 20 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Suns.
Sexton was able to score at least 20 points in his fourth straight game Saturday, and he continued to handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties amid the absences of backcourt mates Keyonte George (heel) and Jordan Clarkson (foot). Over his last eight games, Sexton is averaging 21.4 points, 4.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 threes in 29.5 minutes. The 26-year-old combo guard doesn't bring much to the table defensively from a fantasy perspective, but he's shooting a career-high 42.1 percent from deep and ranks among the league's elite in free-throw percentage (89.8) in 2024-25 thus far.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Goes for 24 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton amassed 24 points (7-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Hawks.
Sexton did everything in his power to avoid the loss Tuesday, but Trae Young had another plan and gave the Hawks the win with one of the longest game-winning shots in NBA history. Sexton remains a productive player for Utah, though. This was the fifth time he reached the 20-point mark in his last six outings, a span in which he's averaging 21.3 points, 4.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores 20 points Sunday
Rotowire
Sexton had 20 points (6-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 victory over the Magic.
Sexton might be delivering inefficient numbers from a shooting perspective, but there's no question the veteran guard is going through one of his most productive stretches of the season. Sexton has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven outings, a span in which he's also shooting 46 percent from the floor and 40.4 percent from three-point range. It's worth noting that Utah was without Jordan Clarkson (foot), Keyonte George (heel), Lauri Markkanen (back) and John Collins (personal) for this contest.

Rotowire
Sexton chipped in 22 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Monday's 132-121 loss to the Nuggets.
Sexton had another strong showing despite the outcome of Monday's game, and the veteran guard is ending the calendar year on a strong note. It remains to be seen if Sexton will be traded in the coming weeks, and while a move away from the Jazz would impact his fantasy upside, he's certainly playing well enough to warrant a look from some contending teams. Sexton has surpassed the 15-point mark in each of his last six appearances, averaging 22.2 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor in that span.

Sexton played at least 30 minutes for the third straight game, during which time he has managed to produce adequately on the offensive end. In that time he has averaged a healthy 24.0 points per game, adding 3.7 three-pointers and 5.7 assists. Despite some inconsistency in his role, Sexton remains one of the best scoring options on a team that leans into offensive production as a strength.

Sexton did a little bit of everything for Utah in Thursday's contest, leading all Jazz players in scoring and assists while also tallying a team-high trio of steals in a well-rounded performance. Sexton set a new season high in scoring, reaching the 30-point mark for the first time this year. Sexton has connected on five or more threes in two contests, the other being a game during which he knocked down a season-high six threes Nov. 23 against New York.

Rotowire
Sexton produced 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers.
Despite the blowout loss, Sexton delivered a solid bounce-back outing following Friday's loss to the Suns, during which he posted only six points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores 17 in blowout loss
Rotowire
Sexton accumulated 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 loss to the Thunder.
The Jazz looked overmatched Tuesday and suffered a 27-point loss, but Sexton posted a decent stat line, leading the team in scoring and showing an efficient touch from the floor. Even though Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George are Utah's main offensive weapons, Sexton has done a good job as a secondary weapon. He's scored at least 15 points in all but one of his last eight appearances, a span in which he's averaging 19.1 points per game while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Foils chance to win
Rotowire
Sexton recorded 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 loss to the Lakers.
Sexton had trouble handling the inbounds pass with seconds remaining and failed to make a potential game-winning shot. This even followed a questionable timeout that stalled Utah's momentum, and it's one of Utah's many foibles that have plagued the team this season. Sexton is still posting solid numbers despite the team's struggles and is viable as a starting point guard in deeper leagues.
