Sexton came off the bench for the Jazz's last two games, but he'll return to the starting five while Jordan Clarkson is sidelined with a heel injury. Through the first five games of the regular season, Sexton is averaging 14.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 23.2 minutes per game.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Will play through finger injury
Rotowire
The Jazz announced Friday that Sexton sustained a left fourth finger Distal Interphalangeal joint avulsion fracture during Thursday's loss to San Antonio, but he will continue to play as tolerated.
Sexton was not included on the injury report for Saturday's game in Denver and is expected to move back into the starting lineup, as Jordan Clarkson (heel) will be sidelined. In three starts this season, Sexton has averaged 17.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.7 minutes per game.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Leads team in scoring in loss
Rotowire
Sexton supplied 16 points (5-11 FG, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 loss to the Spurs.
Sexton led the club in points in his second consecutive game off the bench during a low-scoring affair. The 25-year-old produced a bounce-back game after posting four points and shooting 0-for-7 in his first game off the bench, and he is a candidate to slot back into the starting five with Jordan Clarkson (heel) considered day-to-day.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Struggles off bench
Rotowire
Sexton recorded four points (0-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
Sexton was replaced in the starting lineup by Jordan Clarkson, who put up 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists. This is bad news for Sexton's fantasy value, and it doesn't help that he couldn't generate anything offensively off the bench Tuesday night.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Leads Utah in scoring Monday
Rotowire
Sexton logged 23 points (9-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Mavericks.
Keyonte George has been slumping badly to start the season, but Sexton picked up the slack here and delivered an excellent performance despite the fact Utah ended up losing once again. Sexton is averaging 17.0 points per game while shooting 56.3 percent from the field to open the campaign, and even though he's bound to regress in the efficiency department sooner than later, the veteran guard has been one of the few bright spots during the Jazz's 0-3 start.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Effective during preseason win
Rotowire
Sexton compiled 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, two steals, a rebound and a blocked shot across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 win over the Kings.
Injuries have plagued Sexton throughout his career, but after appearing in 78 games with the Jazz last season, his best basketball should still be ahead of him. If he can improve on last year's results, we could see production reminiscent of his days with the Cavaliers, where he averaged 24.3 points per game in 2020-21.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores team-high 24 points
Rotowire
Sexton finished with 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block across 31 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason loss to the Spurs.
The Jazz were depleted for this preseason contest since they were without Lauri Markkanen (rest) and Keyonte George (knee), but Sexton stepped up and finished as the leading scorer in this preseason loss. Sexton has locked down a starting role in the backcourt, and while he gets most of his fantasy upside as a scoring weapon, he could handle more playmaking duties if George is forced to miss time in the early stages of the regular season.

Sexton (illness) will be a full participant during training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

He made a total of 78 appearances in the regular season, averaging 18.7 points, 4.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 26.6 minutes.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Considered doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Sexton (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton has missed the last two games due to his illness, and although it's somewhat encouraging to see him listed as doubtful rather than being immediately ruled out, it seems likely that he'll be sidelined once again Friday. Assuming he sits against the Clippers, his final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against the Warriors.

Rotowire
Sexton (illness) won't play in Thursday's game against the Rockets, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Sexton will miss a second consecutive game due to illness, which should allow for Johnny Juzang to remain in the starting lineup while Talen Horton-Tucker and Jason Preston are candidates to see more work off the bench.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Sexton has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton is riding a productive stretch, averaging 20.4 points per game while shooting 44.5 percent from the field over his last eight starts, but it wouldn't be shocking if he ends up being ruled out since the Jazz are already out of playoff contention. It sounds as if Sexton will be a true game-time call before Tuesday's 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Posts 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton notched 15 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to Golden State.
Sexton shot only 33 percent from the floor but managed to pad his fantasy total with seven assists. Sexton won't become an unrestricted free agent until 2026, but he represents over 12 percent of Utah's league cap, making him a very expensive addition to the 2024-25 roster.

Sexton's 26 points marked his highest-scoring output since March 4 during Wednesday's loss. The 24-year-old guard also tallied a team-high nine assists. Sexton has displayed impressive efficiency across his 13 appearances in March, posting 52.8/41.9/88.9 shooting splits.

He's now scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive outings, a span in which he's averaged 21.7 points per contest while shooting an impressive 55.7 percent from the field.
