Collin Sexton is set to join the Lakers after signing a two-year contract worth $19 million. The veteran guard is currently dealing with a lower right leg injury that has kept him out of preseason games.
While Sexton is making good progress in his recovery, his status for the Lakers' October 21 regular-season opener against the Warriors is still unconfirmed. He brings a career scoring average of 18.3 points per game to the team.
Sexton's signing utilized the Lakers' mid-level exception, following a series of offseason moves. Despite joining a team with a deep backcourt, his fantasy basketball value is not expected to change significantly.
