Sexton (27) is averaging 14.2 points and shooting 48.8% from the field. In 2018, he was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers out of the University of Alabama. Sexton continued to play for the Cavs from 2018 to 2022. After that, he was traded to the Utah Jazz, where he would play from 2022 to 2025.
He was then traded to the Hornets. Overall, Sexton brings additional depth to Chicago’s backfield. Plus, his expiring contract gives him little wiggle room for the organization.
The original deal involved the Bulls acquiring Usman Dieng from the OKC Thunder. In addition, the Bulls sent Mike Conley to Charlotte after he initially came via the Minnesota Timberwolves in trade Ayo Dosunmu. However, Dieng was sent to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-way exchange with the Phoenix Suns. In the process, Chicago acquired Nick Richards from Phoenix.
Chicago is 24-28 and in the midst of a three-game losing streak. On Thursday, they lost their first game since the Trade Deadline to the Toronto Raptors 123-107 on the road.
