Jazz's Collin Sexton: Considered doubtful for Friday
Rotowire
Sexton (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton has missed the last two games due to his illness, and although it's somewhat encouraging to see him listed as doubtful rather than being immediately ruled out, it seems likely that he'll be sidelined once again Friday. Assuming he sits against the Clippers, his final chance to suit up during the regular season will be Sunday against the Warriors.
Sexton (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Nuggets, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
The writing was on the wall for Sexton to miss his first game of the season after he was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day. With Sexton out, players like Talen Horton-Tucker, Jason Preston and Kira Lewis could have more opportunities out of the Utah backcourt.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Sexton has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton is riding a productive stretch, averaging 20.4 points per game while shooting 44.5 percent from the field over his last eight starts, but it wouldn't be shocking if he ends up being ruled out since the Jazz are already out of playoff contention. It sounds as if Sexton will be a true game-time call before Tuesday's 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Leads team with 25 in loss
Rotowire
Sexton accumulated 25 points (12-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 loss to Oklahoma City.
Playing his third straight game as part of the second unit, Sexton led the Jazz in scoring while producing 20-plus for the seventh time in the last eight contests. He didn't get much help, as only two other Utah players scored in double digits. Over that eight-game stretch, Sexton has averaged 22.8 points, 6.0 assists, 3.4 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.0 steals while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent (20-for-44) from beyond the arc, and the shift to the bench hasn't impacted his usage or efficiency. However, once Jordan Clarkson (groin) gets healthy, Sexton could move back into the starting five.
