Charlotte, which holds the NBA’s longest playoff drought at nine seasons, still hopes to compete for a Play-In spot this year, but a poor record has left the team exploring options. Sexton, who has been a key scorer for the Hornets, could be part of a roster shakeup.
This season, Sexton has appeared in 21 games, averaging 15.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per contest, while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from three.
Despite his solid numbers, the Hornets currently sit 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 9-20 record, highlighting the team’s struggles and need for flexibility.

Sexton’s availability could draw interest from multiple teams looking for a scoring guard capable of contributing immediately.
For Charlotte, moving him could be a way to acquire younger assets or draft capital while still keeping a chance at a Play-In berth.
