Collin Sexton stayed Day-To-Day on Tuesday night's injury report, which now lists a right calf and says he is questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors. The Lakers have not announced whether he will play.
What happened
The official injury report issued Tuesday, Oct 20 at 8:18 PM ET kept Collin Sexton at Day-To-Day, the same status he carried before. The detail changed to a right calf injury. The report's comment reads: Sexton (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors. The 27-year-old guard has been on the report since Oct 5, when the issue was first listed as undisclosed. It was later described as a lower body problem, then a lower leg issue, and on Oct 16 as a right lower leg injury. The expected return date listed is Oct 21.
What it means for the Lakers
The Lakers open the 2026-27 season against the Warriors on Wednesday, Oct 21 at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN. Both teams are 0-0. Sexton averaged 15.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 23.7 minutes over 68 games last season, so his absence would take a scoring guard out of the second unit. In games played without him, the backcourt minutes have gone to Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart, with Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia filling the wing spots. There is no record with or without him yet, since the regular season has not started. Adou Thiero and Cameron Carr are also out.
What to watch
The next injury report before Wednesday's game will settle whether Sexton is active for the opener. The listed expected return is Oct 21, which is the opener itself, but the report still calls him questionable, so nothing is confirmed. If he sits, the question becomes whether the calf keeps him out beyond one game. No further timeline has been announced.
