[WOJ] Collin Sexton suffered a torn meniscus

Hate to see it. Not only is it his contract year but the Cavs were actually playing good basketball for a change.

[Blacksheep25]

I thought it might be relatively serious. It was a weird how he just didn’t come out for second half despite no obvious injury. When they said knee, I was hoping he banged knees or something.

Get well kid

[RiRuHoops]

get well Collin Sexton. no reason to rush back.

[HoopsterJones]

Damn that sucks for him and the Cavs who have been playing well. Hope for a speedy and full recovery.

[ShootersShoot]

Hate this so much...cavs were looking solid, hoping for a speedy recovery.

[Statlanta]

The demise of the Sexland backcourt has begun

[Lockdown504090]

If anyone saw it could they tell me how it happened? Did he move awkwardly, fall, or get hit?

[John Murdoch]

Any interest in Monk? He is useless for us

[AbeVigodaLive]

Hate to see young guys injured in contract years.

Sexton was already a bit polarizing, even more now.

[yoyoboy]

He wasn’t playing well this year but I’m sure part of that was the fact he was playing hobbled. Sucks to see regardless.

That leaves 4 of our top 8 rotation guys - Love, Sexton, Lauri, Okoro - out for various reasons. Assuming we go with Rubio, Garland, Wade, Mobley, Allen in the starting lineup, with Windler, Cedi, Stevens (barf), and then who knows who else off the bench. This short rotation is forcing Mobley to play more minutes than I’d like.

They wanted to trade him but never did. Good luck with that now Cavs.

Sucks for Sexton, I hope he gets healthy.

From a Cavs standpoint, this doesnt really hurt them. They're 7-4 in spite of Sexton, not because of him. He has been really bad this year. 16/3/2 on 52 TS% and still not being a good defensive player.

I guess it hurts them from a depth standpoint because they were already weak there with all the other guys missing time. But ya if he comes back this year, I would think they would just move him as a 6th man scoring role. I think Rubio in the starting spot would be a better fit.

[Roger Murdock]

I feel bad for him but ultimately I think this season might be beneficial for the Cavs. He might be inking something like a 5 yr $80M deal this summer when the fear was he’d be asking for $120M+

Playing hard and being a willing and active defender is not without value ... but hopefully Isaac Okoro is back soon.

Stay classy, my man.

[Jadoogar]

It definitely sucks for Sexton, contract year. I feel bad for him
I don't think it will hurt the Cavs too much. Rubio seems like a better fit, just need to make sure they have a backup pg

[Mavrelous]

****, that's the worst time for him and the Cavs.

[QingJames]

Cavs starting lineup will probably be better now tbh. Not their overall team, as he’s obviously a great scorer, but he’s a ballstopper who limits Garland’s ability to facilitate in that starting lineup.

[MotownMadness]

Him and me both, gotta go have surgery on mine next week.

[SlovenianDragon]

Dang i didnt realize its his contract year already...whats he expected to get?
