What happened: Collin Sexton picked up four personal fouls across nine minutes of action. The guard missed all three of his field-goal attempts, including an airball, during the scoreless stretch.

Why it matters: Sexton previously missed the season opener and preseason while managing a calf strain before rejoining the active rotation. In 2026-27 through eight games, he has recorded 9.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

What to watch: Watch for rotation adjustments to manage his early foul trouble moving forward.
