Sexton tallied 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds over 24 minutes during the Hornets' 97-96 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sexton ended up leading the Hornets in points during Wednesday's low-scoring affair, as no other Charlotte player scored more than 15 points during the loss. It was the fifth time he scored 20-plus points in a game and the first time doing so since Nov. 28 against the Bulls. In his eight outings since returning from a seven-game absence due to a left quadriceps strain, Sexton has averaged 14.8 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 21.9 minutes per game.

Sexton is not starting against the Bucks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sexton will return to the second unit for this contest. He's averaging 14.9 points per game when deployed off the bench, so he should still have some upside in most formats.

Sexton will start against the Warriors on Wednesday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Miles Bridges (ankle) sidelined, Sexton will get the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 23. In 10 starts so far this season, the 26-year-old guard has averaged 15.9 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per contest.

Sexton totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and two assists in 18 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Sexton ended with at least 12 points for the second straight game, adding basically nothing when it comes to peripheral numbers. While his overall production continues to be disappointing, the bigger takeaway here was the fact that Kon Knueppel was unable to finish the game after suffering an ankle injury. If the rookie is forced to miss time, Sexton could be in line for some additional minutes, making him a speculative add, even in 12-team leagues.

Sexton recorded 12 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 win over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Sexton was cleared to return Tuesday from a seven-game absence due to a left quad strain. He failed to reach the 20-minute benchmark in his return, but he managed to reach double-digit points while doing most of his work from the charity stripe. The Hornets don't play until Friday against the Magic, which gives Sexton more time to work on his conditioning in anticipation of taking on more minutes off the bench.

Sexton (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

After missing seven straight outings with a left quad strain, the veteran guard has been cleared to suit up. Sexton has averaged 15.2 points, 3.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest over his last 13 games. Sion James could see fewer minutes Tuesday with Sexton back in action.

Sexton (quad) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

After missing seven games in a row with a left quad strain, the veteran guard is on the precipice of returning to the rotation. Sexton has averaged 15.2 points, 3.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 24.5 minutes per contest over his last 13 games.

Sexton (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

This will mark Sexton's seventh consecutive absence due to his quad injury, and there is no clear timetable for his return. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction after receiving doubtful tags ahead of the past two contests. Josh Green and Sion James may see extended run Monday as a result.

Sexton (quadriceps) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Sexton appears likely to miss a seventh straight game Monday, and he can be considered highly questionable for the second leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday against the Wizards.

Sexton (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Sexton will be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a strained left quad. Encouragingly, Sexton was listed as doubtful on the Hornets' initial injury report for Saturday's game after being immediately ruled out in each of his previous five absences. His next chance to play will come Monday in Cleveland, which is the first leg of a back-to-back.
