Lakers’ Collin Sexton gets stitches after scary collision in win over Bucks

Detailed summary

The Lakers had three guards suffer injury scares during their win over the Bucks.

MILWAUKEE — Collin Sexton received multiple stitches to close a deep cut over his right eye after the Lakers’ 123-112 win over the Bucks on Wednesday night.

Sexton and Ryan Rollins headbutted midway through the fourth quarter while the Lakers guard was defending the Bucks guard.

Play was stopped with 6:51 remaining after it was clear Sexton was bleeding.

It wasn’t known as of Wednesday night how many stitches the reserve guard needed.

His injury happened during the same game star guard Austin Reaves and Luka Dončić had early exits in the second half because of injury scares.

Coach JJ Redick said Reaves’ X-rays were negative and that he would get imaging on Thursday. Redick ruled out an Achilles tendon injury for Reaves, who didn’t speak with reporters postgame.

Dončić had an injury scare with a few minutes left in the game when he clutched at his right ankle after Kyle Kuzma closed out against him as he made a 23-foot jumper.

He sat on the floor holding his ankle before getting up and making a free throw. Dončić told reporters afterward that he was “good” despite the pain.
