Kawhi to face Celts in first game with George

The Utah Jazz have ruled Collin Sexton out for another week due to a hamstring strain. Sexton has missed Utah’s last five games with this current injury. He previously missed 13 games due to an earlier hamstring strain.

In his first year with the Jazz, Sexton has averaged 14.3 points on career-best 50.7% shooting from the field, including a career-high 41% on three-pointers. The fifth-year guard took over as a starter for Utah after the Jazz traded Mike Conley to the Minnesota Timberwolves ahead of the trade deadline.

The Portland Trail Blazers have offered Jerami Grant a four-year, $112 million extension, sources tell Jake Fischer of Sports Betting News.

Grant has not accepted the offer as the Blazers can sign offer a five-year contract worth more money when he becomes a free agent.

Grant can sign for up to $233 million over five years, though the upper range of that contract appears unrealistic.

Grant is interested in signing with the Blazers long-term.
