The Hornets and Jazz got ahead of free agency by agreeing to swap Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round pick for Jusuf Nurkic.

The 26-year-old Sexton has played seven NBA seasons and three with the Jazz after suiting up four on the Cleveland Cavaliers, who selected him out of Alabama with the eighth overall pick in the 2018 draft. For the season, Sexton posted 18.4 points on 48.0 percent shooting (40.6 percent from three) and 4.2 assists.

The Utah Jazz are trading Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic, a deal first reported by Shams Charania of ESPN and subsequently confirmed by other reports.
