A new-look Los Angeles Lakers team is still monitoring the status of guard Collin Sexton as he awaits his team debut while recovering from a lower-leg injury.
Sexton, 27, has been unavailable for the Lakers throughout the preseason and has missed all four games so far. He’s been sidelined “roughly four weeks,” according to BasketNews.
However, Sexton is nearing a return. He’s expected to be ready for the Lakers’ regular-season opener against the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 21.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick says that Sexton participated in everything besides the live portion of practice on Thursday. He added that the first-year Lakers guard is “trending in the right direction” for Los Angeles’ game against the Golden State Warriors.
