Drops 21 points off bench Sexton racked up 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to the Nets.

Impact Sexton played at least 29 minutes for the second straight game, thriving in a sixth-man role for his new team. Since arriving in Chicago, Sexton has suited up twice, averaging 19.0 points in 30.4 minutes. If you simply need a boost in scoring, Sexton could be a worthwhile addition, at least until Chicago starts to fill out its backcourt with healthy bodies.

Leads bench in debut with Chicago Sexton finished Saturday's 136-120 loss to the Nuggets with 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes.

Impact Saturday was Sexton's first appearance in a Bulls uniform, three days after being traded by the Hornets. The veteran guard put together a nice scoring line in his Chicago debut and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Matas Buzelis (21 points). Sexton may have a harder time finding minutes off the bench once Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) return from their respective injuries.

Left off Saturday's injury report Sexton (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.

Impact Sexton appears to be in line for his Bulls debut Saturday. The veteran guard could see decent burn off the bench until Josh Giddey (hamstring) is ready to return. Sexton averaged 12.0 points, 2.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 18.3 minutes per tilt in his last 10 games with Charlotte.

Out Thursday Sexton (recently traded) won't play Thursday against Toronto.

Impact Sexton was traded from the Hornets to the Bulls on Wednesday and isn't quite ready to make his Chicago debut. New acquisitions Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons are available Thursday and should provide some needed support in the backcourt. Sexton's next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday against the Nuggets.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Sexton (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Sexton was traded to the Bulls on Wednesday in a deal that sent Coby White to Charlotte, and the former could make his Bulls debut against Toronto. If Sexton ultimately joins Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) on the sidelines, Yuki Kawamura and Mac McClung would be candidates for increased playing time. Jaden Ivey (recently traded), who is listed as probable to make his Bulls debut, could also see increased burn right away.

Impact After being traded to the Hornets this past offseason, Sexton will join his third team in a two-year span. The 27-year-old guard is expected to provide backcourt depth for Chicago, and he's set to become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Over 42 regular-season appearances (12 starts) with the Hornets in 2025-26, Sexton averaged 14.2 points, 3.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per contest.

Limited in victory Sexton had five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in 12 minutes during Monday's 102-95 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Sexton logged just 12 minutes, the fewest he has played in his past 21 games. Coming off an impressive 21-point performance in a win over the Spurs, Sexton saw his production regress once again, a trend that has been building for the past two weeks. In eight games during that time, he has averaged just 11.1 points, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 17.4 minutes per game. As long as Charlotte remains healthy, expect to see Sexton playing limited minutes off the bench.
