His previous history of injury may have brought his value into question, but those doubts can now be cast aside.

Sexton underwent surgery in November for a torn meniscus. Today, he’s made a full recovery and is cleared for basketball activities, per Shams.

The 23-year-old averaged 20 points and 3.3 rebounds across his first four seasons in the NBA. He appeared in just 11 games last year prior to his injury. Shams reports that rival NBA exectuives estimate Sexton’s new contract will value around $20 Million per year.

There are plenty of teams who see Sexton’s value, and are prepared to foot the bill to acquire his talents. The question is whether or not the Cavs feel the same way.  Since drafting the guard in 2018, the landscape of Cleveland’s roster has changed rapidly.
