Jazz’s Collin Sexton (ankle sprain) to be reevaluated in 1 week

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton will be sidelined at least a week, according to the team, after suffering a left ankle sprain in the opening minutes of Monday night’s game against Indiana.

Sexton, who is Utah’s second leading scorer averaging 18.7 points per game, sprained the ankle as he drove hard to the basket with 9:47 remaining in the first quarter.

He couldn’t run after that and collapsed on the court before reaching the bench when the Jazz called timeout to get him out of the game.

The Jazz said in a statement Tuesday that X-rays were negative and Sexton will be reevaluated in one week.

Sexton is one of the most reliably healthy Utah players. He had missed just two games this season, both for rest, in a rebuilding season where every other Jazz regular has missed multiple games with injuries.
