Collin Sexton Questionable for Wednesday as Calf Issue Lingers
Underdog NBA reported: 'Collin Sexton (calf) listed questionable for Wednesday.'
Collin Sexton is officially questionable for Wednesday with a calf issue, which means it is time to play everyone's favorite mid-week guessing game.
The Los Angeles Lakers guard has been dealing with lower-leg problems since the preseason, and head coach JJ Redick recently slapped him with the dreaded day-to-day label. In the modern NBA, being day-to-day is basically a witness protection program for guys with sore muscles.
For anyone holding a fantasy roster spot or looking at Wednesday's prop markets, this is a familiar headache. Sexton is averaging 15.4 points and 3.3 assists per game, making him just productive enough that you cannot ignore him, but fragile enough that you can never trust him.
His medical history reads like a medieval battle report. He has racked up 17 different injuries and missed over 500 days of action throughout his career, ranging from a torn meniscus to random hamstring and neck strains.
The Lakers need his scoring punch in the rotation, but relying on his availability is a dangerous game. When he is on the floor, he brings a chaotic energy that Los Angeles desperately needs to keep the offense humming.
Keep an eye on the shootaround updates before tipoff. Until he is officially cleared, treat his status like a coin flip that might land on its edge.
