Lakers guard dishes on facial injury: ‘Gotta be cautious’

Lakers guard Collin Sexton said he felt composed after a collision with Milwaukee’s Ryan Rollins left a cut above his right eye during Wednesday’s win over the Bucks. The injury could affect his availability for Sunday’s game against the Suns, though he took part fully in Saturday’s practice.

Sexton said this was the 11th time he has needed stitches for a facial injury, including around eight or nine times during his NBA career. The swelling had completely closed his right eye, but he said Saturday was much better. Listed as questionable with a right orbital laceration, he planned to assess how he felt after the flight and wear glasses rather than a mask for protection.
