Jazz's Collin Sexton: Posts season-low scoring total
Rotowire
Sexton produced one point (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Sexton was unable to convert any of his field-goal attempts during Wednesday's matchup, and he couldn't generate enough production in secondary categories to salvage his fantasy production. Despite Wednesday's lackluster stat line, he's scored in double figures in 11 of 15 appearances this year and has averaged 11.7 points, 3.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game.

Over the past five games, Sexton is seeing 20.8 minutes per night with averages of 11.8 points, 4.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers on 40.8 percent shooting from the field.

Sexton has now reached double-digit point totals in eight of 10 games this year. His six assists also tied a season-high mark. The veteran reserve guard is averaging 12.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 triples across a career-low 18.8 minutes on the young season.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Thrives as off-guard
Rotowire
Sexton ended with 23 points (8-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-109 win over Memphis.
The Jazz may have found the winning combination by taking Sexton out of his usual role as a second-unit floor general. Sexton is used to bringing the ball down the court, but he looked superb by leaving the point guard duties to Jordan Clarkson. The blowout of Memphis was quite decisive, and it would not be surprising to see Clarkson and Sexton aligned together in a starting lineup soon.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Goes for 24 points
Rotowire
Sexton contributed 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to the Kings.
Sexton got the start in the preseason finale since the Jazz rested several expected starters, and he made the most of the opportunity, leading the team in scoring with efficient shooting. Sexton is likely to open the season as the main backup guard due to his ability to play both positions, but he should have decent fantasy upside in that role if he's able to log around 25 minutes per game on a consistent basis.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Starting against Sacramento
Rotowire
Sexton is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Kings, David Locke of the Jazz's official website reports.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Strong effort off bench
Rotowire
Sexton notched 16 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), a rebound, six assists, a steal and a block across 19 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 138-133 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
Sexton is battling with Jordan Clarkson for a starting role in the backcourt, and while he came off the bench in this one, he certainly left a good impression. He delivered single-digit scoring numbers in his first two exhibitions, but this was Sexton's best preseason game so far. He will try to build off this performance when Utah takes on the New Zealand Breakers on Monday at Delta Center.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Heads to bench
Rotowire
Sexton is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Sexton got the start Tuesday against the Clippers, but he'll head to the bench here, with Jordan Clarkson moving into the starting unit. Sexton delivered three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound and five assists across 18 minutes against the Clippers.
Sexton delivered three points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound and five assists across 18 minutes in Sunday's 101-96 preseason win over the Clippers.
Sexton struggled from the field Sunday, but the shooting woes shouldn't be much of an issue given this was Sexton's first taste of game action since April. Sexton averaged 14.3 points, 2.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game across 48 appearances (15 starts) in 2022-23, and he's in the mix to operate as Utah's starting point guard to start the 2023-24 campaign.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Out Thursday
Rotowire
Sexton has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to left hamstring injury maintenance.
In his return from an 18-game absence in Tuesday's 135-133 loss to the Lakers, Sexton played just 16 minutes but scored 15 points to go with three assists and one rebound. Even though Thursday's contest is a standalone contest, Sexton will get some maintenance. Utah closes its regular season with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set versus the Nuggets and Lakers, respectively, so expect Sexton to sit out at least one of those contests.

The fifth-year guard failed to connect from deep but still scored 15 points thanks to efficient shooting from inside the arc and finished fourth on the team in scoring.
