Hornets upset Spurs 111-106 behind 26 points, eight rebounds from Brandon Miller, 21 points from Collin Sexton. Victor Wembanyama struggles, scoring 16 points on 15 field-goal attempts.
Earlier this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves also conducted due diligence and called Memphis regarding Morant’s availability, but that interest has subsided since. Conversely, Minnesota has Charlotte Hornets guard Collin Sexton – who’s on an expiring $18.98 million contract – among its potential trade targets, league sources told HoopsHype.
The 24-year-old finished the game with 33 points and 8 assists, though his performance wasn’t enough as the Pacers secured a 114–112 win in Charlotte. After the game, Ball explained why he came off the bench and addressed the final possession, which didn’t go as planned. “I didn't start today, so I could finish the back end,” Ball said after the game. “I take full responsibility; that was my fault,” he added about the end of the game. “That last lob—I could’ve dribbled that out, and some silly possession before that. The last pass—I should’ve shot that instead of putting Bull (Collin Sexton) in that position.”

Rod Boone: Final: Pacers 114, #Hornets 112 Collin Sexton's pull-up off feed from LaMelo is short. Rough loss before a nine-day road trip out West.
Rod Boone: Collin Sexton and Josh Green are probable for tonight's game against Washington. That's a good sign for Collin. Ryan Kalkbrenner (left elbow sprain) is questionable and Mason Plumlee (right groin strain) is out.
Our publisher wrote over the weekend that Chicago has been more open to Coby White inquiries than ever before and I'm told that Minnesota has indeed checked in on him, but White's looming unrestricted free agent status next summer certainly offsets some of the attractiveness of his comparatively modest $12.9 million salary. I've likewise heard that Minnesota has conducted some diligence on Charlotte's Collin Sexton. The Wolves seem to be intent on establishing their range of options at the position.
Sources say that the Hornets, furthermore, are also open for business to a degree, but that might only mean shopping veteran guard Collin Sexton as Charlotte — sporting the league's longest playoff drought at nine seasons and counting — clings to hope that it can still be a Play-In team.
Rod Boone: Ryan Kalkbrenner joins Collin Sexton as out. LaMelo Ball is available.

Rod Boone: Asked Charles Lee about level of activity for LaMelo Ball, Tre Mann and Collin Sexton. He said LaMelo did the most on court work of the three. Sounds like LaMelo is trending up closer to a return. #Hornets host Atlanta tomorrow.
Rod Boone: LaMelo Ball, Tre Mann and Collin Sexton are out for tomorrow's game in Cleveland. Tidjane Salaun (left hip soreness) is questionable.
Rod Boone: Charles Lee said Collin Sexton did some on court work pregame today. Sounds like he's getting better after sitting out in Toronto on Friday. #Hornets have four full days off before their next game against Chicago on Friday.
“I wasn’t able to be that patient earlier in my career, even the year before last,” Ingram said after the 110-108 win, Toronto’s eighth victory over the last nine games. “But just seeing it over and over again, I took a few deep breaths, I knew I had to be patient because I knew they were going to send two [defenders] and I knew I didn’t want to turn it over. If they didn’t come, I was going to shoot a turnaround [jumper] on [Collin Sexton], he’s too small. Even [when] they sent two, I might have still shot it, but I was looking for the open play.” “It was cool because I was kinda waiting on that all night,” said Barrett, who admitted that they probably wouldn’t have been able to make that play a month ago; it’s taken some time to build chemistry and get on the same page.
