Collin Sexton breaks silence after trade to Hornets

The post Collin Sexton breaks silence after trade to Hornets appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Charlotte Hornets scored big when they acquired Collin Sexton from the Utah Jazz. Even without securing the talents of Chris Paul, the Hornets aren't complaining. Consequently, Sexton is ecstatic about this new opportunity and has expressed as much, according to Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer. 'Super grateful for the opportunity. Ready to come in and help build the culture and be a leader right away,' Sexton said. 'I feel like the last couple of weeks practicing and stuff, it's been a lot of fun but also getting used to the guys.' Last year, Sexton finished his third season with the Jazz. Altogether, he averaged 18.4 points and 4.2 assists per game. Sexton is entering a team full of young talent, including Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, and LaMelo Ball. He is in attendance in Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League and emphasized the importance of supporting the newcomers. 'That is something that we've talked about,' he said. 'We want as many guys here to support the younger guys. As you can see, we've had an excellent turnout.' Additionally, Sexton discussed creating a family atmosphere with the Hornets. 'Whether it's on the court, off the court, whether you have questions about basketball, about life, we all are here, and it's a brotherhood,' Sexton said. 'We've got to pick up one another, and when someone is down, be there to encourage them when they need it.' In addition to leadership, Sexton is a stellar scorer and playmaker. He can drive to the basket and can finish consistently. Furthermore, Sexton can get the best out of his players with added assist totals this past year. Meanwhile, the Hornets are coming off a 19-63 season. They aim to ignite a spark for this band of young guns. Sexton is expected to deliver in that realm.

Motocross 2025 450 results, highlights, finish at Washougal: Jett Lawrence loses first season overall

In Round 8 of the 2025 Pro Motocross season, Round 25 of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX), Chase Sexton did what no other rider has been capable of: He scored more points than Jett Lawrence in a round in which Jett made it to the checkered flag of Moto 2 uninjured. Sexton returned to the field only three rounds ago after crashing hard in the season-opening round at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. He finished fifth at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan, but had some obvious rust that needed to be knocked off. He was third last week in Spring Creek, but a distant third behind both Lawrence brothers. Those two rounds taught Sexton what he needed for Washougal, however, and Sexton took the lessons to heart. Sexton got a great start in Moto 1 before winning the race. In Moto 2, he showed aggression when required and passed Hunter Lawrence for second after a red flag restart and scored the overall victory with his 1-2. Click here for a recap of Spring Creek For Jett, the loss came down to one simple mistake. Chasing Sexton on Lap 7, he tried to cut low and avoid the KTM's roost, tucking his wheel in the process. It is unclear whether Jett would have been able to pass Sexton during the next nine laps, but given his Motocross record, Sexton was undoubtedly relieved to have the gap. Lawrence dropped to third with the crash, and he pressured Eli Tomac for several laps before deciding to conserve his energy for Moto 2. Jett won the second race, but the inability to get into second in Moto 1 cost him the two points he needed to win via Motocross' tiebreaking procedure. Tomac finished second in Moto 1, 3.4 seconds behind Sexton. He was third in Moto 2 to secure third overall. His demeanor on the podium at the end of the race belied his loss to two other riders. Tomac was happy to have been in sight of the leaders for both 30-minute sessions. He believes the struggles of the past two weeks are behind him, and Tomac can begin to concentrate on gathering momentum for the SMX Playoffs. Relive Moto 1 Hunter's eight-race streak of moto podiums was doomed when he got a poor start in the first race in Washougal. He completed Lap 1 in seventh and did not have enough wind in his sails to glide to the top three. Hunter cracked the top five on Lap 6 and posted his fastest lap of the race the next time around, but would not go any further. He was sharper in Moto 2, riding second to his brother until a red flag waved, but was no match for the determination of Sexton and Tomac on the restart. He finished fourth overall with a 5-4. RJ Hampshire extended his overall top-five streak to three races after finishing fourth in Moto 1 and sixth in Moto 2. The battle for the top five was intense, with two points separating Hunter in fourth from Justin Cooper in sixth, which underscores the importance of fighting for each position. Problems continue for the Spanish rider, Jorge Prado. He earned the holeshot in Moto 1 before fading to finish eighth. He was 19th in the second race, contributing to a combined overall result of 14th. Kawasaki Racing announced last week that Jason Anderson will sit out the remainder of the season to focus on his health, allowing the team to concentrate all its efforts on Prado.

Washougal Motocross 2025 preview: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch

Nestled alongside a scenic river with Mount Hood peeking through the fir trees, Washougal MX Park is one of the prettiest tracks on the Pro Motocross calendar and the home of Round 25 of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) schedule. Chase Sexton won three of the last four rounds on this track, but none of those had Jett Lawrence in the field. Jett swept the motos during his perfect rookie season of 2023, which raised the bar for Sexton. His wins in 2021 and 2022 came with one moto win, but he paved his way to the 2024 championship with his own sweep there. Last week at Spring Creek National in Millville, Minnesota, Sexton finished third in both motos. They were distant thirds to Jett and Hunter Lawrence, but Sexton is becoming increasingly comfortable on the bike and should provide an interesting storyline. Dan Beaver, Jett and Hunter created a competitive gap last week in Spring Creek, and they are the only two riders who have been in the top 10 during every moto this year. In fact, they swept the top five in the first 14 races while holding off fierce challenges by Eli Tomac, Justin Cooper, and Aaron Plessinger. Plessinger will be missing this week to heal from an illness that slowed him at RedBud and Spring Creek, but Sexton is more than capable of filling the gap. If Jett's perfect 2025 season so far was not enough of a fear-inducing fact this week, riders have to contemplate that in the 450 and 250 classes, Jett has finished worse than second only once — and that came in his first race there in 2021 on a 250. On the other hand, Tomac is heading in the wrong direction. He has not stood on a moto podium since Southwick. Worse still, he has not looked competitive in those races. The Motocross championship may be out of reach after his mechanical issue in RedBud, but if he is not careful, he will lose all momentum heading into the SMX Playoffs. 250 Notes Haiden Deegan has an extra spring to his steps this week, entering Washougal. He won the last two Nationals there with three moto wins and a second-place finish. If he can win a third consecutive National, he will be only the second rider to do so, following James Stewart (2007 - 2009), according to The GOAT Ricky Carmichael, Jeff Emig, and Mark Barnett all tried and failed to threepeat. There's something about being the hometown fan favorite, however, and Levi Kitchen needs to take advantage of that this week. He finished third overall in the first four rounds before pressing too hard at RedBud and Spring Creek to finish outside the top five, in seventh and sixth, respectively. Mikkel Haarup is a rider to watch this week after finishing fourth overall in back-to-back Nationals. He is 13th in combined SuperMotocross points and seems to be bound for the playoffs. Last week, Austin Forkner scored his first top-10 of the season, making him the 21st rider in 2025 to do so. All four Triumph riders (Forkner, Haarup, Jalek Swoll, and Jordon Smith) finished in the top 10.
