Cleveland Cavaliers scoring guard Collin Sexton will remain out for the rest of the season, after undergoing knee surgery for a meniscus tear, as announced by the team on Friday.
Sexton got hurt in the second quarter of the 126-109 victory over the New York Knicks on Nov. 7. The Cleveland Cavaliers announced on Nov. 8 that the 22-year-old suffered a left knee injury and would be out indefinitely.
Sexton averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists in 11 games this season. The Alabama product was coming off a career season with the Cavaliers.
He averaged 24.3 points on 47 percent along with 4.4 assists during the 2020-21 season. But, he wasn’t able to turn around Cleveland’s franchise, as the team has not made the playoffs in the last three seasons.
