There are some Woj Bombs that you never like to see and this is one of them.
Per ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus. It’s expected that Sexton’s absence will be an extended one.
The Cavs’ 22-year-old guard exited the action early in Sunday’s win against the Knicks with a left knee injury. Now one of the main pieces to the surprising 7-4 Cavaliers is out with no immediate timetable to return.
Sexton had eight points and four assists in his 12 minutes on the floor before leaving the game a few minutes before halftime. “Young Bull” has been an integral part of the Cavs young core. Last season, the 6-foot-1 guard averaged just over 24 points per game to go along with a healthy 4.4 assists.
Ricky Rubio and rookie big Evan Mobley dominated in Cleveland’s impressive 126-109 win over New York.
Rubio went for a career-high 37 points on eight three-pointers. Meanwhile, Mobley continued to make his case as the Rookie of the Year frontrunner with a 26 point, nine rebound, five assist performance at The Garden.
It’s been a hot start in The Land despite a tough schedule right out of the blocks. So far, Mobley has been as advertised, and then some. The seven-footer out of USC has made his presence felt across the first 11 games, averaging a shade under 15 points and eight boards per.
Even without Sexton, the Cavs will look to improve on a putrid franchise win/loss record when LeBron James or Mark Price aren’t on the floor.
Here’s to hoping Young Bull can return to the hardwood soon.
