Steps up after Conley trade Sexton started and totaled 22 points (6-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 143-118 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Added to the starting five after the Jazz shipped out Mike Conley to the Timberwolves in a three-team deal completed shortly after the opening tip, Sexton made the most of the promotion to the top unit. He scored 20 of his points in the first half alone, and though he slowed down after the break, the blowout nature of the contest contributed to his playing time being curbed. Though the Jazz received Russell Westbrook back in the deal, he's a strong candidate to be bought out of his contract, so Sexton looks like he could be set to occupy a regular starting role for the rest of the season. Sexton profiles as a strong pickup in just about any format, especially for fantasy managers seeking efficient scoring.

Gets starting nod Sexton is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Sexton will likely remain Utah's starting point guard with Mike Conley being traded to the Timberwolves. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 17.1 points, 4.9 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 30.2 minutes across his previous 10 starts this season.

Rough night Monday Sexton accumulated 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-6 FT) and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 124-111 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Sexton was not able to have an impact Monday, scoring fewer than 15 points for the sixth time in his past eight games. As a player who relies solely on scoring to buoy his fantasy value, Sexton is not doing a good job of convincing anyone he should be rostered. He is barely inside the top 200 in nine-category formats over the past two weeks, leaving him on the fringe of deeper-league discussions.

Productive off bench Friday Sexton racked up 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 117-106 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact After missing five of the first six games in January due to hamstring issues, Sexton appears to be fully healthy again. He's scored in double digits in all four games he's played this month, averaging 16.3 points, 2.3 assists, 2.0 boards and 1.0 threes in 25.3 minutes off the bench as Utah's primary source of second-unit scoring. With trade rumors swirling around Mike Conley though, it's possible Sexton will see his minutes and role increase if he moves into the starting five.

Efficient shooting in return Sexton totaled 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 126-125 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Sexton played well off the bench after sitting the previous game for injury management. He led all bench players with 19 points on an efficient 70 percent shooting. While not known for his secondary stats, he did add four boards and four assists in his 26 minutes. The young guard has been a decent scorer in a reserve role for much of the season and has shown no rust offensively in the two games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Not on injury report Sexton (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Minnesota, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sexton sat out the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the 76ers due to right hamstring injury maintenance, but he'll return to action against the Timberwolves. During his return from a five-game absence Friday against Orlando, he logged 18 points, three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes.

Will sit Saturday Sexton will not play in Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to right hamstring injury maintenance. Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sexton returned from a five-game absence to log 24 minutes in Friday's tilt versus the Magic, but he will get the night off Saturday in the second game of the back-to-back set. His absence should slot Nickeil Alexander-Walker in as the team's backup option again at point guard, though Sexton seems likely to rejoin the action Monday against the Timberwolves.

Drops 18 points in 24 minutes Sexton logged 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 112-108 win over Orlando.

Impact Sexton scored an efficient 18 points in his return Friday, moving back in the rotation after missing five straight games with a hamstring injury. In typical style, he added very little outside of the scoring, something that drags down his overall appeal. While he does provide the team with a nice offensive punch off the bench, his limitations usually rule him out when it comes to being a must-roster fantasy player.

On minutes restriction Sexton (hamstring) will be active but limited for Friday's affair with the Magic, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sexton will make his first appearance in January after missing five contests with a hamstring injury but will be under a minutes restriction. Considering his exact limitations are unknown and the Jazz are fully healthy, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for Friday's slate.

Good to go Friday Sexton (hamstring) said Thursday that he will play in Friday's game versus the Magic, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sexton will rejoin the rotation Friday after missing the previous five games with a right hamstring injury. His return will likely result in less playing time for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Ochai Agbaji. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Sexton sit out Saturday's back-to-back or receive limited minutes.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for full practice Sexton (hamstring) is expected to fully participate in Thursday's practice, Ben Anderson of KSLSports.com reports.

Impact Sexton has missed the Jazz's last five games while receiving maintenance for a right hamstring injury, but his impending return to a full practice suggests his streak of absences could soon come to an end. If Sexton checks out fine during Thursday's session, Tony Jones of The Athletic relays that the fifth-year guard could return to action Friday in Orlando, which marks the front end of a back-to-back set. Whenever Sexton is cleared to play, he'll likely recapture a role on the Jazz's second unit and bump one or two of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Ochai Agbaji and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) out of the rotation.

Still out Tuesday Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sexton will miss a fifth straight game due to a right hamstring injury. The initial report said he'd be sidelined for at least a week, so the team should be releasing an update on the point guard's rehab process in the coming days. Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) is also out, so expect Malik Beasley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Ochai Agbaji to continue garnering increased roles behind Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson until Sexton is able to return.

Out at least a week Sexton will be sidelined for at least a week due to a hamstring injury, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Sexton was unable to practice Monday due to a hamstring issue, and he'll be unavailable for Utah's next four games before being re-evaluated. While he hasn't experienced a setback after missing seven games with a hamstring injury in December, he'll go through rest, treatment and strengthening over the next week.

Energized performance in return Sexton (hamstring) ended with 18 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound over 17 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over the Wizards.

Impact Sexton played his first game in over two weeks Thursday and delivered efficient scoring in limited playing time. While Sexton had been logging significant minutes prior to suffering the hamstring injury, he may not see a major boost in his court time while Utah is now at full strength in the backcourt. The lack of a path to a consistent 25-plus-minute role along with Sexton's limited production in the non-scoring categories make him a better fit as a streamer in 12-team leagues rather than a player who needs to be rostered.

Active Thursday Sexton (hamstring) will play in Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Sexton's streak of seven consecutive absences will come to an end Friday, as the 23-year-old will be available for the game. Although he has been a strong fantasy contributor this season, he will likely move back to the second unit and be under some sort of minutes restriction. In 17 appearances off the bench, Sexton has averaged 12.7 points in 21.1 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Full-go in practice Thursday Sexton (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's shootaround, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sexton is still questionable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Wizards with a right hamstring strain. The former Cavalier's practice participation is a good sign of his availability, especially considering he was already upgraded from out to questionable.
