Rotowire
Sexton tallied 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds over 24 minutes during the Hornets' 97-96 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Drops 13 points in win
Rotowire
Sexton totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and two assists in 18 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over Orlando.
Sexton ended with at least 12 points for the second straight game, adding basically nothing when it comes to peripheral numbers. While his overall production continues to be disappointing, the bigger takeaway here was the fact that Kon Knueppel was unable to finish the game after suffering an ankle injury. If the rookie is forced to miss time, Sexton could be in line for some additional minutes, making him a speculative add, even in 12-team leagues.
