Los Angeles Lakers guard Collin Sexton is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns after sustaining a head wound during a win over the Milwaukee Bucks, per team reports.
During the fourth quarter of the 123-112 victory, Sexton suffered a head-to-head collision with Ryan Rollins.
The impact resulted in a wound near his eye that required sutures to close.
The guard also has a bandage over the injury and is dealing with a black eye.
At practice on Saturday, Sexton participated in the session and provided an update on his physical condition, according to Benjamin Royer of the Southern California News Group via social media.
Sexton stated that he felt “pretty good” during the team workout, as reported by local outlets.
The backcourt player has experienced an upward trend of late after missing the preseason with a lower-leg injury and enduring an inconsistent start to the regular season.
He scored 17 points against the Detroit Pistons, added 17 points against the Atlanta Hawks, and contributed 10 points in 13 minutes against Milwaukee before exiting.
His recent offensive efficiency includes shooting 15-of-29 from the field over his last three appearances while dishing out 11 assists.
The Lakers currently share the best record in the NBA at 11-2 and are riding a seven-game winning streak.
Meanwhile, starting guard Austin Reaves will not play on Sunday after suffering a heel bruise against Milwaukee, according to injury report updates.
