Leads bench in debut with Chicago
Sexton finished Saturday's 136-120 loss to the Nuggets with 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes.
Analyse
Saturday was Sexton's first appearance in a Bulls uniform, three days after being traded by the Hornets. The veteran guard put together a nice scoring line in his Chicago debut and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Matas Buzelis (21 points). Sexton may have a harder time finding minutes off the bench once Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) return from their respective injuries.

Left off Saturday's injury report
Sexton (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.
Analyse
Sexton appears to be in line for his Bulls debut Saturday. The veteran guard could see decent burn off the bench until Josh Giddey (hamstring) is ready to return. Sexton averaged 12.0 points, 2.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 18.3 minutes per tilt over his last 10 games with Charlotte.

Out Thursday
Sexton (recently traded) won't play Thursday against Toronto.
Analyse
Sexton was traded from the Hornets to the Bulls on Wednesday and isn't quite ready to make his Chicago debut. New acquisitions Jaden Ivey and Anfernee Simons are available Thursday and should provide some needed support in the backcourt. Sexton's next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday against the Nuggets.

Questionable Thursday
Sexton (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Analyse
Sexton was traded to the Bulls on Wednesday in a deal that sent Coby White to Charlotte, and the former could make his Bulls debut against Toronto. If Sexton ultimately joins Josh Giddey (hamstring) and Tre Jones (hamstring) on the sidelines, Yuki Kawamura and Mac McClung would be candidates for increased playing time. Jaden Ivey (recently traded), who is listed as probable to make his Bulls debut, could also see increased burn right away.

Traded to Chicago
The Hornets traded Sexton, Ousmane Dieng (via Oklahoma City) and three second-round picks to the Bulls on Wednesday in exchange for Coby White and Mike Conley, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analyse
After being traded to the Hornets this past offseason, Sexton will join his third team in two years. The 27-year-old guard is expected to provide backcourt depth for Chicago, and he's set to become an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Over 42 regular-season appearances (12 starts) with the Hornets in 2025-26, Sexton averaged 14.2 points, 3.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per contest. He can be considered doubtful to debut Thursday in Toronto.

Limited in victory
Sexton had five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt) in 12 minutes during Monday's 102-95 victory over New Orleans.
Analyse
Sexton logged just 12 minutes, the fewest he has played in his past 21 games. Coming off an impressive 21-point performance in a win over the Spurs, Sexton saw his production regress once again, a trend that has been building for the past two weeks. In eight games during that time, he has averaged just 11.1 points, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 17.4 minutes per game. As long as Charlotte remains healthy, expect to see Sexton playing limited minutes off the bench.
