Collin Sexton: Out for season
Sexton (knee) underwent surgery Wednesday in Atlanta to repair a torn left meniscus and will miss the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The Scoop: The season-ending injury is a tough blow for the Cavaliers and Sexton, who was playing on the final year of his rookie deal and was hopeful to work out a long-term extension. Before suffering the knee injury in a Nov. 7 loss to the Knicks, Sexton averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 triples and 0.9 steals across 28.7 minutes per game in 11 outings. Ricky Rubio will presumably continue to start at point guard alongside Darius Garland in the backcourt going forward. Sexton will head into the offseason as a restricted free agent, affording the Cavaliers the right to match any offer sheet he might get from another team.
