It is going to be awhile before Collin Sexton returns to the court for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs guard suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee during Sunday’s win over the Knicks. Sexton is expected to miss an extended amount of time with this injury.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton suffered a torn meniscus to his left knee, team says. No immediate timetable on a return, more testing to come, but expect Sexton to have an extended absence from 7-4 Cavs.

At 16 point per game, Collin Sexton has been the leading scorer for the Cavs this season, but that is not saying all that much. A lot of the Cavs success this season has been through a collective effort and not relying on one specific player. Cleveland can certainly weather the storm without Sexton, but will need others to step up in his absence.
