Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game at Sacramento, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Sexton injured his hamstring in the final game before All-Star break and has been considered week-to-week since. Utah is erring on the side of caution here and has not revealed how close the combo guard is to returning. His next chance will come Monday against the Suns.

Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) will be out for at least another week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The Jazz have been updating Sexton's status on a week-to-week basis after he suffered a left hamstring injury during the final game before the All-Star break. While the guard remains sidelined, Kris Dunn and Ochai Agbaji should continue seeing expanded roles.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Will be re-evaluated in one week
Rotowire
Sexton (left hamstring) will spend another week on the sidelines before he's re-evaluated, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Hamstring injuries can be tricky, and with Utah in a rebuilding year, Sexton will likely take his time getting back to the floor. At this juncture in the fantasy season, managers who don't have an available injury slot may need to consider cutting Sexton. Kris Dunn has been playing very well in Sexton's absence, so he's worth a look in most leagues.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Out at least another week
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Spurs and is set for another evaluation in a week, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Sexton has already missed back-to-back games following the All-Star break due to a left hamstring injury and is slated to miss at least four more contests. Jordan Clarkson (thumb) is also out for Tuesday's matchup, so Kris Dunn, Frank Jackson, Talen Horton-Tucker and Ochai Agbaji are all candidates for increased roles versus San Antonio.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Out at least two games
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday and won't play Thursday against the Thunder or Sunday against the Spurs before being re-evaluated Monday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Though he was able to compete with teammates Jordan Clarkson and Walker Kessler in the Kia Skills Challenge at All-Star weekend, Sexton will end up missing game action on account of the left hamstring strain he sustained in Utah's most recent game Feb. 15 in Memphis. Clarkson could see more time on the ball while Sexton is sidelined through the weekend, and guards such as Talen Horton-Tucker and new signees Kris Dunn and Frank Jackson could also get the chance to enter the Utah backcourt rotation.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Early exit Wednesday
Rotowire
Sexton will not return to Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left hamstring injury, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Sexton suffered the injury after four minutes of action, where he was held scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-1 3PT) with one assist. Talen Horton-Tucker and Simone Fontecchio figure to see expanded roles for the remainder of the game. Sexton will have a little more than one week to rest up before Utah's next game against the Thunder on Feb. 23.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores 22 in 37 minutes
Rotowire
Sexton chipped in 22 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 122-116 victory over the Raptors.
With Mike Conley no longer around, Sexton is the starting point guard by default in Utah for possibly the remainder of the season. He can put up points in a hurry with good efficiency, but fantasy managers would like to see a bit more production across the board. Coming into Friday, Sexton was averaging just 2.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Steps up after Conley trade
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Rough night Monday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Productive off bench Friday
Rotowire
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.
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, Sexton may see his minutes and role increase if he moves into the starting five.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Efficient shooting in return
Rotowire
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.
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.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Will sit Saturday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Drops 18 points in 24 minutes
Rotowire
Sexton (hamstring) 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.
Back in action after missing five straight games with a hamstring injury, Sexton led the Jazz bench in scoring by a wide margin and achieved his points relatively efficiently. In typical style, Sexton added little outside of the scoring column, something that drags down his overall appeal in category leagues.

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

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

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

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

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Energized performance in return
Rotowire
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.
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.
