Collin Sexton Urges Patience as He Finds Rhythm With Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Collin Sexton is working to build momentum after missing preseason time with a strained right calf. Coach JJ Redick has preached patience for the 27-year-old, who signed a two-year, $19 million deal in the offseason. Sexton posted 18 points and 6 assists against the Hawks on Monday, following a 17-point effort against the Pistons—his first back-to-back games in double figures with a positive plus/minus this season. He expects to be back to normal in 1-2 weeks.
