Collin Sexton News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Drops 13 points in win Sexton totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and two assists in 18 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over Orlando.

Impact Sexton ended with at least 12 points for the second straight game, adding basically nothing when it comes to peripheral numbers. While his overall production continues to be disappointing, the bigger takeaway here was the fact that Kon Kneuppel was unable to finish the game after suffering an ankle injury. If the rookie is to miss time, Sexton could be in line for some additional minutes, making him a speculative add, even in 12-team leagues.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact Sexton is likely to miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a left quadriceps strain.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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 limits 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.
