The Utah Jazz<\/a>\u00a0have traded guard Collin Sexton<\/a>\u00a0and a 2030 second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> in exchange for big man Jusuf Nurki\u0107, the teams announced Sunday. Sexton has spent the last three seasons in Utah and will play for his third NBA team<\/a> next season.<\/p>\n Sexton, 26, averaged 18.4 points, 4.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds during the 2024-25 season. With the Jazz selecting Rutgers star Ace Bailey and Florida All-American guard Walter Clayton Jr<\/a>. in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft<\/a> earlier this week, it made increasingly likely Utah could move off Sexton or guard Jordan Clarkson<\/a> this offseason to open up more minutes for the new rookies and the rest of its young core.<\/p>\n The Hornets acquired Nurki\u0107, 30, at this past season’s trade deadline from the Phoenix Suns<\/a>. The Suns traded Nurki\u0107 and a 2026 first-round pick to the Hornets for Cody Martin<\/a>, Vasilije Micic<\/a>, and a 2026 second-round pick. Nurki\u0107 appeared in only 25 games for the Suns last season before he was traded to Charlotte.\u00a0<\/p>\n In total, Nurki\u0107 appeared in 51 games for Charlotte and Phoenix and averaged 8.9 points and 7.8 rebounds. For his career, he has averages of 11.8 points and 8.8 rebounds on 50.1% from the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images The Utah Jazz\u00a0have traded guard Collin Sexton\u00a0and a 2030 second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135561,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3785],"tags":[7,473,14224,1585,423,2131,26686,6,472,422,427,3972,10757,2130],"class_list":{"0":"post-135560","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-utah-jazz","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-charlotte-hornets","10":"tag-cody-martin","11":"tag-collin-sexton","12":"tag-jazz","13":"tag-jordan-clarkson","14":"tag-jusuf-nurkiu0107","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-phoenix-suns","17":"tag-utah","18":"tag-utah-jazz","19":"tag-utahjazz","20":"tag-vasilije-micic","21":"tag-walter-clayton-jr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114770022638968232","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135560\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
