Downgraded to out Sexton (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit.

Impact Sexton will be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a strained left quad. Encouragingly, Sexton was listed as doubtful on the Hornets' initial injury report for Saturday's game after being immediately ruled out in each of his previous five absences. His next chance to play will come Monday in Cleveland, which is the first leg of a back-to-back.

Unlikely to play Saturday Sexton (quadriceps) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Sexton is likely to miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a left quadriceps strain. On a more positive note, this marks the first time he has initially been ruled as doubtful instead of out since sustaining the injury. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sion James, Tre Mann (knee) and KJ Simpson are candidates for increased playing time.

Impact Sexton has been working through a left quad strain and will miss a fourth consecutive game as a result of his injury. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Hawks.

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.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Wednesday Sexton won't return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Sexton played nine minutes before leaving this game for good during the second half. He finished with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists and one block. If he misses additional time, the Hornets could turn to Antonio Reeves and Sion James.

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.

Slides to bench Sexton will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact The Hornets' entire preferred starting five is healthy Wednesday, pushing Sexton to the second unit after starting Sunday's game against Atlanta. In six appearances with the reserves this season, Sexton is averaging 15.7 points and 3.7 assists across 22.3 minutes.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sets season high in loss Sexton contributed 22 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and four assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 loss to Atlanta.

Impact After coming off the bench in each of his previous three outings, the eighth-year guard got the starting nod due to LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) being sidelined. Sexton struggled from three-point range but still finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer, setting a new season-high mark in points. He has scored in double figures in 10 straight games and continues to provide an offensive spark for the Hornets. While he'll likely shift to a bench role whenever Ball and Miller are available, Sexton is expected to continue seeing significant minutes.

Impact Sexton will make his 10th start of the season Sunday with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder) sidelined. In his nine previous starts, Sexton has averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 28.6 minutes per game.

Leads bench with 18 points Sexton posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-4 FT), four assists, three bounds and one steal over 22 minutes during the Hornets' 131-116 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.

Impact Sexton led the Hornets' bench in scoring Saturday and was one of five Hornets players to score at least 18 points. The veteran guard's usage on offense was steady despite the return of Brandon Miller, though Sexton's production could dip as the former's playing time increases. Sexton has averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.6 steals over 25.7 minutes per game since Nov. 1.

Returning to bench Sexton isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Sexton drew the start Saturday due to the absence of LaMelo Ball, but the Alabama product will retreat to a bench role Monday evening. He was effective in his last showing as a reserve, finishing with 14 points and four assists despite logging only 16 minutes Friday against Milwaukee.

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 13 in starting role Sexton posted 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 109-96 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Sexton got the start at point guard due to the absence of LaMelo Ball (rest). While he didn't have his best shooting performance after needing 13 shots to score 13 points, he had a decent output in peripheral categories. Sexton has been in and out of the starting five, but it wouldn't be surprising if he reverts back to the bench Monday at Toronto if Ball is cleared to return.
