Bulls' Collin Sexton: Not playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Sexton (lower leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Sexton suffered a lower-leg contusion during the third quarter of the Bulls' 126-110 loss to the Kings. The injury will prevent him from playing Tuesday, and his next chance to play is the front end of the Bulls' back-to-back set against the Lakers on Thursday. Chicago is dealing with several injuries, and the absence of Sexton means more minutes will be available for Rob Dillingham and Leonard Miller.

Bulls' Collin Sexton: Jumping into starting five
Rotowire
Sexton will start Thursday's game against Portland.
Sexton will make just his second start since joining Chicago, as the Bulls navigate without the services of Patrick Williams (quadriceps) and Jalen Smith (calf). Sexton saw a substantial uptick in playing time Tuesday against the Hornets (28 minutes), and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him tackle a similar workload Thursday night.

Rotowire
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.

Rotowire
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.
Saturday marked 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).

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.

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

Rotowire
Sexton posted 21 points (7-8 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and one steal over 18 minutes during the Hornets' 111-106 win over the Spurs on Saturday.
It was an incredibly efficient outing for Sexton, who finished as the Hornets' second-leading scorer behind Brandon Miller (26 points). Sexton set a season high with five triples Saturday, and his 21 points were his most in a game since Jan. 7 against the Raptors (22). He'll end the month of January having averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.4 threes and 1.1 steals over 19.7 minutes per game.
