by

The Utah Jazz have been encountering one disappointment after another, most recently losing to the Indiana Pacers in a tight match. On Monday night, the injury-plagued Jazz suffered another blow when Collin Sexton had to leave the game due to an ankle sprain. This unexpected exit has sparked worry among Utah supporters, who are eager for updates on their key player’s condition. In other words, what exactly transpired with the experienced point guard?

Here are all the available details regarding Sexton’s latest ailment.

What happened to Collin Sexton?

It appears that Collin Sexton suffered a sprained ankle during the Jazz’s close 111-112 defeat against the Pacers, causing him to exit the game early due to injury.

In the first quarter of the game, Sexton attempted to reach the opponent’s basket despite being closely guarded by two Indiana players. With only 9 minutes and 47 seconds left on the clock, he slipped up and rolled his ankle. This injury forced him to leave the game at the 3-minute mark. His replacement was sophomore guard Keyonte George.

It was later verified that Collin Sexton would miss the rest of the game because of his ankle problem. Before leaving, he scored two points out of three attempts and grabbed one rebound as the point guard.

Currently, it’s unclear how long Collin Sexton will be out due to injury. A minor strain usually means he’ll be out for 3-7 days, but if his sprain is severe, he might miss as many as two months of games.

In the current standings of the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz are struggling at the bottom. The absence of Sexton undoubtedly weakens their chances of winning their upcoming matches. Next up for them is a game against the Golden State Warriors in the NBA.
