The Jazz traded Sexton and a 2031 second-round pick to the Hornets on Sunday in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Sexton averaged at least 18.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds while posting 48/39/86 shooting splits over his final two seasons in Utah and will now join his third NBA team. It's still early in the offseason, so Sexton could be on the move again, but if he sticks in Charlotte, he'd presumably be one of the top reserve guards behind LaMelo Ball (ankle), Brandon Miller (wrist) and Kon Knueppel. Sexton has one year remaining on his current deal and is slated to make $19 million in 2025-26.
Sexton is not in Utah's starting lineup against Oklahoma City.
Sexton has started in all but two games this season, but he'll come off the bench for the first time since Oct. 31 while Jaden Springer makes his first start of the season. Sexton has averaged 20.1 points, 4.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 26.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Rotowire

The 26-year-old provided a full stat line while finishing as Utah's second-leading scorer behind Keyonte George (35 points).

Moreover, the seventh-year guard racked up multiple steals for the ninth time in 62 regular-season appearances.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Leads Jazz with 27 points
Rotowire
Sexton contributed 27 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 140-112 loss to the Pacers.
Sexton led the Jazz with 27 points, dropping at least 20 points for the third time in the past five games, one of which he was resting. Despite Utah resting a number of their players, Sexton's availability has remained relatively consistent. He has played in seven of the past eight games, scoring at least 15 points in all but one appearance.
Sexton (pelvis) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Sexton will be back in action after missing Monday's tilt against the Hornets. Over his last six games, Sexton has averaged 19.0 points, 3.7 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Sexton (pelvis) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston.
After missing Monday's tilt against the Hornets with a pelvic contusion, Sexton's status remains uncertain for Wednesday. Johnny Juzang made the start in Sexton's stead Monday and would likely do so again if the latter remains sidelined, and Keyonte George took on additional ball-handling duties off the bench against Charlotte.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Sexton (pelvis) is out for Monday's game against Charlotte.
Sexton is dealing with a right pelvic contusion, so he can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Houston. The star guard's absence could allow Keyonte George to make his way into Utah's starting lineup, with Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh also being options to see a boost in minutes.
Jazz's Collin Sexton: Working through pelvic injury
Rotowire
Sexton is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to a right pelvic contusion.
Sexton may have picked up the injury during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets, and he is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game as a result. He has played in 10 of Utah's last 11 games and has averaged 18.2 points, 4.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds over 27.1 minutes per game over that span. Keyonte George and Johnny Juzang would be the top candidates to enter the Jazz's starting lineup if Sexton is not cleared to play Monday.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Pops for team-high 20 in loss
Rotowire
Sexton closed with 20 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets.
The 26-year-old guard reached 20 points for the second straight game as he led the Jazz in scoring. Sexton has dropped 20-plus in five of his last nine appearances, and with Jordan Clarkson (foot) ruled out for the rest of the season, there will be additional shots up for grabs in the Utah backcourt. Over that nine-game span, Sexton is averaging 18.4 points, 3.9 assists, 2.6 boards, 1.4 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 40.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Paces team with 21 points in loss
Rotowire
Sexton chipped in 21 points (9-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to Houston.
Sexton's continued success wasn't enough to end Utah's skid. Although the team is currently in a death spiral, Sexton and Isaiah Collier have been worthy fantasy targets in a backcourt that is deep with talent. Utah may utilize the overload of guards in the open market during the offseason, making every performance a potential audition for future work elsewhere.
