Sexton accumulated 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-6 FT) and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Mavericks.
Sexton was not able to have an impact Monday, scoring fewer than 15 points for the sixth time in his past eight games. As a player who relies solely on scoring to buoy his fantasy value, Sexton is not doing a good job of convincing anyone he should be rostered. He is barely inside the top 200 in nine-category formats over the past two weeks, leaving him on the fringe of deeper-league discussions.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Productive off bench Friday
Rotowire
Sexton racked up 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 117-106 loss to Brooklyn.
After missing five of the first six games in January due to hamstring issues, Sexton appears to be fully healthy again. He's scored in double digits in all four games he's played this month, averaging 16.3 points, 2.3 assists, 2.0 boards and 1.0 threes in 25.3 minutes off the bench as Utah's primary source of second-unit scoring. With trade rumors swirling around Mike Conley, though, Sexton may see his minutes and role increase if he moves into the starting five.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Efficient shooting in return
Rotowire
Sexton totaled 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 126-125 win over the Timberwolves.
Sexton played well off the bench after sitting the previous game for injury management. He led all bench players with 19 points on an efficient 70 percent shooting. While not known for his secondary stats, he did add four boards and four assists in his 26 minutes. The young guard has been a decent scorer in a reserve role for much of the season and has shown no rust offensively in the two games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Minnesota, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Sexton sat out the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the 76ers due to right hamstring injury maintenance, but he'll return to action against the Timberwolves.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Will sit Saturday
Rotowire
Sexton will not play in Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to right hamstring injury maintenance. Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton returned from a five-game absence to log 24 minutes in Friday's tilt versus the Magic, but he will get the night off Saturday in the second game of the back-to-back set. His absence should slot Nickeil Alexander-Walker in as the team's backup option again at point guard, though Sexton seems likely to rejoin the action Monday against the Timberwolves.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Drops 18 points in 24 minutes
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) logged 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 112-108 win over Orlando.
Back in action after missing five straight games with a hamstring injury, Sexton led the Jazz bench in scoring by a wide margin and achieved his points relatively efficiently. In typical style, Sexton added little outside of the scoring column, something that drags down his overall appeal in category leagues.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: On minutes restriction
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) will be active but limited for Friday's affair with the Magic, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will make his first appearance in January after missing five contests with a hamstring injury but will be under a minutes restriction. Considering his exact limitations are unknown and the Jazz are fully healthy, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for Friday's slate.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) said Thursday that he will play in Friday's game versus the Magic, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will rejoin the rotation Friday after missing the previous five games with a right hamstring injury. His return will likely result in less playing time for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Ochai Agbaji. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Sexton sit out Saturday's back-to-back or receive limited minutes.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Set for full practice
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) is expected to fully participate in Thursday's practice, Ben Anderson of KSLSports.com reports.
Sexton has missed the Jazz's last five games while receiving maintenance for a right hamstring injury, but his impending return to a full practice suggests his streak of absences could soon come to an end. If Sexton checks out fine during Thursday's session, Tony Jones of The Athletic relays that the fifth-year guard could return to action Friday in Orlando, which marks the front end of a back-to-back set. Whenever Sexton is cleared to play, he'll likely recapture a role on the Jazz's second unit and bump one or two of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) out of the rotation.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Still out Tuesday
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will miss a fifth straight game due to a right hamstring injury. The initial report said he'd be sidelined for at least a week, so the team should be releasing an update on the point guard's rehab process in the coming days. Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) is also out, so expect Malik Beasley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Ochai Agbaji to continue garnering increased roles behind Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson until Sexton is able to return.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Energized performance in return
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) ended with 18 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound over 17 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over the Wizards.
Sexton played his first game in over two weeks Thursday and delivered efficient scoring in limited playing time. While Sexton had been logging significant minutes prior to suffering the hamstring injury, he may not see a major boost in his court time while Utah is now at full strength in the backcourt. The lack of a path to a consistent 25-plus-minute role along with Sexton's limited production in the non-scoring categories make him a better fit as a streamer in 12-team leagues rather than a player who needs to be rostered.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Active Thursday
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) will play in Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Sexton's streak of seven consecutive absences will come to an end Friday, as the 23-year-old will be available for the game. Although he has been a strong fantasy contributor this season, he will likely move back to the second unit and be under some sort of minutes restriction. In 17 appearances off the bench, Sexton has averaged 12.7 points in 21.1 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's shootaround, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton is still questionable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Wizards with a right hamstring strain. The former Cavalier's practice participation is a good sign of his availability, especially considering he was already upgraded from out to questionable.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Gets upgrade to questionable
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) is considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Wizards.
Given that Sexton was listed out on the initial injury report since suffering the hamstring strain, an inclusion as questionable likely signals a return is near. The team should provide additional info on his status at some point on game day, but Sexton should slide into a sizeable role again if given the green light without restrictions.

Sexton hasn't appeared in a game since Dec. 7, and that trend will continue Tuesday, marking his seventh consecutive absence. Sexton's next opportunity to rejoin the action arrives Thursday versus the Wizards. Nickeil Alexander-Walker should continue to handle a larger role in Sexton's absence.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Remains out Monday
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton won't be able to face his former team since he's yet to recover from a nagging hamstring problem suffered earlier this month. He is in line to miss his sixth game in a row, and that should translate into an increased role for Nickeil Alexander-Walker. His next chance to feature will come Tuesday at the Pistons.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring), who will remain out for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, was re-evaluated Wednesday and is considered day-to-day after an MRI revealed that the guard is progressing in his recovery as anticipated, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton has been sidelined since suffering a mild right hamstring strain in Utah's Dec. 7 win over Golden State. The 23-year-old will continue to increase his on-court work in the days to come, potentially setting the stage for him to return as soon as Saturday in Milwaukee if he practices Friday without any issues. Once deemed ready to play, Sexton may struggle to surpass the 25-minute mark on a regular basis, as Utah is now back to full strength in the backcourt following Mike Conley's recent return from injury.

Sexton will be re-evaluated in one week after he underwent an MRI on Thursday that revealed a mild right hamstring strain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton injured his hamstring in the second half of Wednesday's 124-123 win over the Warriors. With Mike Conley (lower leg) likely to return Friday, Sexton is expected to move back to a bench role once he overcomes his own injury.

Sexton logged his ninth straight start and posted 17 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT) and three assists in 27 minutes before exiting with an apparent hamstring injury. The guard will likely be tabbed questionable heading into the Jazz's next matchup Friday against Minnesota.
