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

Bulls' Collin Sexton: Traded to Chicago
Rotowire
The Hornets traded Sexton, Ousmane Dieng (via Oklahoma City) and three second-round picks to the Bulls on Wednesday in exchange for Coby White and Mike Conley, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After being traded to the Hornets this past offseason, Sexton will join his third team in two years. 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. He can be considered doubtful to debut Thursday in Toronto.
