Sexton Cleared After Scary Collision: Day-to-Day Status
14 Nov
Summary
- Collin Sexton cleared concussion evaluation after a scary collision.
- He received stitches for a cut above his right eye and is day-to-day.
- The Lakers guard's status for Sunday's game remains uncertain.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Collin Sexton has been cleared of a concussion following a head-to-head collision on Wednesday. The incident occurred during the Lakers' 123-112 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, forcing Sexton to leave the game. He required stitches for a cut above his right eye but has been designated as day-to-day.
Coach JJ Redick confirmed Sexton's status on Friday, indicating he could potentially return for Sunday's road game against the Phoenix Suns. This news provides some relief for the Lakers, who have faced uncertainty with multiple guards nursing injuries. Austin Reaves is also day-to-day with a bruised left heel, while Quentin Grimes is progressing from a finger injury.
Sexton scored 10 points and had three assists before exiting Wednesday's game. While the collision initially raised concerns about a potential concussion, the clearance removes a significant worry for the team. The Lakers will update Sexton's status on their official injury report on Saturday, with his availability against the Suns yet to be determined.
