Collin Sexton to Miss at Least One Week Due to Ankle Injury
Collin Sexton of the Utah Jazz is set to miss a minimum of one week after suffering a left ankle sprain in the first quarter of Monday night's game against the Indiana Pacers. The injury occurred just under ten minutes into the game when Sexton drove to the basket, resulting in him collapsing on the court shortly after. He only played three minutes during this match, scoring just two points before being sidelined.
The team confirmed that X-rays taken on Sexton's ankle were negative, and he will be re-evaluated in a week to assess the extent of the injury. This season, Sexton has been a key player for the Jazz, averaging 18.7 points per game, making this loss significant for the team.
With Sexton out, it is expected that players such as Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson will see increased playing time. The Jazz are currently dealing with multiple injuries across their roster, making Sexton's absence a further challenge for the team as they navigate their rebuilding season.
- Injury occurred: Monday night against the Indiana Pacers.
- Duration of expected absence: At least one week.
- Current season average: 18.7 points per game.
