Sexton (rest) won't play Monday against the Bulls.
Sexton will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set for left leg injury management. Meanwhile, Keyonte George (foot) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) are both listed as questionable. Based on whoever is available, guys like Svi Mykhailiuk and Johnny Juzang could step into increased roles for Utah.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Team-high 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton contributed 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
Sunday's performance was Sexton's 22nd time scoring at least 20 points this season. With Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson both dealing with foot injuries, Sexton should continue to operate as one of Utah's go-to scoring options. Sexton has averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes through his last seven appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sexton listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's tilt against the Bulls, as Utah continues to rest players while battling Washington for the worst record in the NBA.
Sexton supplied 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
Sexton played in his second straight contest Wednesday for the first time since the beginning of February. The 26-year-old has returned to his starting point guard role after missing time due to an ankle injury. Over his last five appearances, Sexton is averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 24.8 minutes.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Dishes out 13 assists
Rotowire
Sexton ended Monday's 114-108 loss to Boston with 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and 13 assists over 33 minutes.
Sexton didn't have his best shooting performance en route to 16 points, but he stood out in his playmaking role and notched a season-high 13 assists. Sexton has been playing one game and resting the other, and if that tendency continues, he might sit Wednesday's game at Memphis. The veteran is averaging 17.4 points per game over his last 10 contests.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Omitted from injury report
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) is not listed on Utah's injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
After resting during the first half of Utah's back-to-back set, Sexton will return to action Monday. Over his last three appearances (all starts), Sexton has averaged 15.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.3 minutes per game.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Sitting out Sunday
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) is listed out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Sexton will be sidelined for the third time in six games due to left ankle injury management, joining multiple other key rotation players in street clothes. With Jordan Clarkson (foot) among that group of players sitting out, the Jazz will likely turn to Keyonte George, Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk to handle most of the minutes at shooting guard Sunday.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton notched 17 points (6-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's 118-109 loss to the Raptors.
Sexton returned after a one-game absence and posted a solid stat line, but he hasn't been shooting the ball particularly well. In three games since the All-Star break, the veteran guard is making just 42.1 percent of his shots from the field and only 20.0 percent of his treys. The recent struggles, coupled with Sexton's multiple absences of late, certainly limit his upside. That absence pattern will not change in the season's final weeks.

Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Raptors.
Sexton will return to action Friday after missing Utah's previous contest due to a left ankle injury. Sexton has averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 assists and 29 rebounds in 25.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Won't go Wednesday
Rotowire
Sexton has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to left ankle injury management, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will miss his 12th outing since Feb. 5 while the Jazz manage his playing time due to a left ankle injury. Svi Myhailiuk, Jaden Springer (back) and Johnny Juzang are all candidates for a bump in playing time due to Sexton and Jordan Clarkson (foot) being sidelined.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Cleared to play vs. Detroit
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) will play Monday night against the Pistons.
Sexton was held out of Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans but has been given the green light to suit up Monday. He missed nearly the entire month of February while recovering from a left ankle sprain, so he may still be monitored closely in only his second game back.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Listed questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Sexton sat out Sunday's game against the Pelicans for the front end of this back-to-back set, but the veteran guard remains day-to-day. He could be poised for a large workload if he gets the green light Monday, as Lauri Markkanen (back) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) are out once again.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Sexton is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to left ankle injury management.
The Jazz will be without several of their regular starters Sunday, either due to rest or injury management, and this means Sexton will sit out as well. The veteran guard played only 17 minutes in the win over the Timberwolves on Friday in what was his first appearance since a 10-game absence between Feb. 5 and Feb. 26. It seems the Jazz are simply being cautious with Sexton's recovery process.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores 13 points in return
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) finished Friday's 117-116 win over Minnesota with 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one rebound across 17 minutes.
Sexton was given the green light to play Friday after missing Utah's last 10 games due to a left ankle sprain. He operated under a minutes restriction, but he managed to reach double-digit points and finished with a plus-13 point differential, third-best on the Jazz behind Walker Kessler (plus-23) and Isaiah Collier (plus-16). Sexton will likely operate with some restrictions for a few more games, though he should remain a regular in the Jazz's starting backcourt alongside Collier.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Returning Friday vs. Minnesota
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
A left ankle sprain has prevented Sexton from playing in Utah's last 10 games, but the veteran guard out of Alabama has progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to return Friday. He had averaged 21.8 points, 5.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 31.1 minutes per game across the 20 games prior to sustaining the injury against the Pacers on Feb. 3. Sexton will operate on a minutes restriction upon his return, which means Isaiah Collier should continue to see meaningful playing time in the short term, per Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton has missed 10 games in a row due to a left ankle sprain, but the fact that he's listed as questionable for Friday suggests he might be getting closer to returning to the hardwood. Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk have been experiencing an uptick in minutes with Sexton sidelined, but both should lose some of their playing time if Sexton is deemed ready to return.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Remains out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Sacramento, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will miss his 10th consecutive contest Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. The Jazz announced that the combo guard resumed on-court activities Saturday, which bodes well for his potential return in the near future.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
The Jazz announced Saturday that Sexton (ankle) has resumed on-court activities and is nearing a return to action but will be re-evaluated early next week.
Sexton hasn't played since Feb. 3 due to a sprained left ankle but should return to action soon. With Jordan Clarkson (foot) also for Saturday's game versus Houston, Keyonte George should continue to receive increased playing time until Sexton is able to suit up.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Won't go Friday
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton will miss his seventh consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. His next opportunity to suit up will come Saturday against Houston. The Jazz haven't provided many updates on Sexton's practice activity -- or lack thereof -- since he suffered the injury Feb. 3, so his status will continue to be updated on a game-by-game basis. Jordan Clarkson (foot) will likely serve as the primary replacement in the starting five for as long as Sexton is sidelined.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Sexton (ankle) is out for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.
Sexton's absence streak will extend to six games Thursday due to a left ankle sprain. With Jordan Clarkson (foot) also out, Keyonte George should receive increased playing time. Sexton's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against the Thunder on Feb. 21.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Out at least one week
Rotowire
The Jazz announced Tuesday that Sexton will be re-evaluated in one week after spraining his left ankle during the first quarter of Monday's 112-111 loss to the Pacers.
Sexton played just three minutes Monday before exiting the game with the injury. Though X-rays ruled out any structural damage to his ankle, Sexton's sprain is considered significant enough to keep him out for at least a few games and possibly through the All-Star break. Keyonte George started the second half of Monday's game in Sexton's stead and could see elevated minutes during the latter's absence along with Isaiah Collier and Jordan Clarkson.
