Sexton is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Sexton is one of the players competing for a role in the Hornets' backcourt, but he should be a lock to make the rotation even if he comes off the bench. Sexton had 15 points and two assists in a preseason loss to the Thunder on Thursday.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Looks sharp in 15 minutes
Rotowire
Sexton produced 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes of Thursday's 122-116 preseason loss to the Thunder.
Sexton came off the bench for the second game in a row Thursday, but he made a big impact in this one. Kon Knueppeland Tre Mann have each started one preseason game so far, but based on coach Charles Lee's comments, Sexton may get a chance to showcase what he can in the first unit as well -- Lee mentioned the Hornets may base their starters on the matchups.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Candidate to start based on matchup
Rotowire
Head coach Charles Lee suggested Sunday that Sexton could be a candidate to start this season, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Lee also mentioned Kon Knueppel, who started Sunday's preseason opener against the Thunder, and Tre Mann as possibilities for a starting role in 2025-26. With this situation in a state of flux, matchups could dictate who gets the nod in the first unit on a game-to-game basis. Sexton should still play a significant role as a scorer off the bench, as he averaged 18.4 points, 4.2 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game in 63 regular-season contests for the Jazz in 2024-25.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Traded to Charlotte
Rotowire
The Jazz traded Sexton and a 2031 second-round pick to the Hornets on Sunday in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Sexton averaged at least 18.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while posting 48/39/86 shooting splits over his final two seasons in Utah and will now join his third NBA team. It's still early in the offseason, so Sexton could be on the move again, but if he sticks in Charlotte, he'd presumably be one of the top reserve guards behind LaMelo Ball (ankle), Brandon Miller (wrist) and Kon Knueppel. Sexton has one year remaining on his current deal and is slated to make $19 million in 2025-26.

The 26-year-old provided a full stat line while finishing as Utah's second-leading scorer behind Keyonte George (35 points).

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Sexton (pelvis) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston.
After missing Monday's tilt against the Hornets with a pelvic contusion, Sexton's status remains uncertain for Wednesday. Johnny Juzang made the start in Sexton's stead Monday and would likely do so again if the latter remains sidelined, and Keyonte George took on additional ball-handling duties off the bench against Charlotte.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Sexton (pelvis) is out for Monday's game against Charlotte.
Sexton is dealing with a right pelvic contusion, so he can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Houston. The star guard's absence could allow Keyonte George to make his way into Utah's starting lineup, with Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh also being options to see a boost in minutes.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Working through pelvic injury
Rotowire
Sexton is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to a right pelvic contusion.
Sexton may have picked up the injury during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets, and he is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game as a result. He has played in 10 of Utah's last 11 games and has averaged 18.2 points, 4.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds over 27.1 minutes per game over that span. Keyonte George and Johnny Juzang would be the top candidates to enter the Jazz's starting lineup if Sexton is not cleared to play Monday.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Pops for team-high 20 in loss
Rotowire
Sexton closed with 20 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets.
The 26-year-old guard reached 20 points for the second straight game as he led the Jazz in scoring. Sexton has dropped 20-plus in five of his last nine appearances, and with Jordan Clarkson (foot) ruled out for the rest of the season, there will be additional shots up for grabs in the Utah backcourt. Over that nine-game span, Sexton is averaging 18.4 points, 3.9 assists, 2.6 boards, 1.4 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 40.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Paces team with 21 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton chipped in 21 points (9-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to Houston.
Sexton's continued success wasn't enough to end Utah's skid. Although the team is currently in a death spiral, Sexton and Isaiah Collier have been worthy fantasy targets in a backcourt that is deep with talent. Utah may utilize the overload of guards in the open market during the offseason, making every performance a potential audition for future work elsewhere.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Logs 15 points in defeat
Rotowire
Sexton accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 loss to the Grizzlies.
Sexton played only 18 minutes in the blowout loss but inflicted swift damage as the Jazz took an early lead. He eventually gave way to a combo of Johnny Juzang and Keyonte George for the rest of the game, indicating that his recent ankle injury may still be an issue. An upcoming back-to-back may affect Sexton's status heading into the weekend.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Leads team as skid continues
Rotowire
Sexton supplied 30 points (12-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 121-99 loss to the Celtics.
Sexton logged an excellent night as he helped to spur a late rally that closed the gap against the Celtics. A tepid effort from the remaining four first-unit players ultimately thwarted Utah, as Sexton was the only starter to finish in double digits. The Jazz could begin to shut down their best players in the coming weeks, but a lack of depth in the backcourt will likely keep Sexton active until the end of the season.

Rotowire
Sexton is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Sexton is set to be available Wednesday after getting Monday night off against the Bulls for rest purposes. The veteran guard has averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes through his last seven appearances.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Resting Monday
Rotowire
Sexton won't play Monday against the Bulls due to left ankle injury management.
Sexton had appeared in each of the Jazz's last four games, but he'll be sidelined Monday in what amounts to a rest day. The veteran guard should be ready to play in the Jazz's next game Wednesday against the Wizards, though even if Sexton is available, his minutes could be limited with Utah seemingly inclined to prioritize positioning in the draft lottery above putting its best lineups on the court.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Team-high 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton contributed 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
Sunday's performance was Sexton's 22nd time scoring at least 20 points this season. With Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson both dealing with foot injuries, Sexton should continue to operate as one of Utah's go-to scoring options. Sexton has averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes through his last seven appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sexton listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's tilt against the Bulls, as Utah continues to rest players while battling Washington for the worst record in the NBA.
Sexton supplied 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
Sexton played in his second straight contest Wednesday for the first time since the beginning of February. The 26-year-old has returned to his starting point guard role after missing time due to an ankle injury. Over his last five appearances, Sexton is averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 24.8 minutes.
