Ruled out for Friday Sexton (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Miami.

Impact With Sexton set to join LaMelo Ball (ankle) on the inactive list Friday evening, the Hornets will be very thin at point guard. Tre Mann is coming off an 18-point game, and he could be headed for a spot-start, making him an intriguing streamer option. KJ Simpson might also see a season-high in minutes Friday night. Sexton's next chance to play will come Monday against the Lakers.

Now unlikely to play Friday Sexton (neck) is doubtful for Friday's game against Heat, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact This is a surprising development, considering Sexton was originally tabbed as probable for Friday. The veteran guard is now likely to join LaMelo Ball (ankle) in street clothes, meaning Tre Mann and Sion James stand out as the most likely fantasy beneficiaries in the backcourt.

Expected to play Friday Sexton (neck) is probable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact Sexton is battling a neck strain, but the injury is not expected to stop him from playing Friday.

Sexton has averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per contest over eight games this season.

Starting against Dallas Sexton is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
