Collin Sexton Injury Update: What Happened to Collin Sexton?
Collin Sexton left the Charlotte Hornets’ road game against the New York Knicks with a lower‑body issue and was ruled out for the rest of the night, with the team describing it as a left leg/thigh/knee concern rather than anything season‑ending so far. r/CharlotteHornets (@HornetsReddit) shared on X that Collin Sexton was holding his left thigh after coming down from a layup and is getting it checked out in the locker room.
With about six minutes left in the third quarter, he attacked the rim, missed a layup, landed awkwardly, and you could immediately see him grimacing and grabbing at his left leg before heading to the bench and then slowly to the locker room, which is exactly the kind of sequence that makes every fan stop scrolling and just stare at the screen for a second.
Officially, the Hornets announced he would not return, and multiple outlets framed it as a contusion or soft‑tissue issue that needs further evaluation, not a confirmed long‑term blow, so for now it’s more of a “wait for imaging and next-day report” situation than a nightmare headline.Underdog NBA (@UnderdogNBA) shared on X that Collin Sexton (thigh) won't return Wednesday.
The frustrating part is that Sexton had just started to carve out a solid rhythm in Charlotte’s backcourt, coming off the bench with his usual downhill aggression, putting together double‑digit scoring nights, and giving them a spark in games where the offense stalls, which is classic “Young Bull” energy.
If you’ve watched him over the years from the Cavs days to Utah and now the Hornets, you almost expect him to bounce back because he’s dealt with ankle, hamstring, and knee issues before and still fought his way into meaningful roles, but it also feels fair to say at this point that injury management is part of the Collin Sexton experience.
For fans, the practical takeaway is simple: keep an eye on the next official Hornets injury report and pregame notes to see whether this turns into a short absence, a game‑time decision stretch, or just one of those bruises that looks scary in real time but fades after a few days of treatment and rest.
