K.C. Johnson: Isaac Okoro out again, per injury report. Collin Sexton questionable vs. Grizzlies.
Joel Lorenzi: Bulls get their first win since Jan. 31, 120-97, over Milwaukee. Had a 27-0 run. Lot of Leonard Miller who was a +38 (!!!). Lot of Collin Sexton, who had 22 on 9/14 shooting (which apparently meant less Rob Dillingham). Bulls break 11-game skid.
KC Johnson: Collin Sexton, asked by @JoelXLorenzi about the missed FT that led to his fine: “I gotta continue to calm myself down because I always do get upset when I miss free throws.”
NBA Communications: BULLS' SEXTON FINED NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2026 - Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton has been fined $35,000 for making an inappropriate gesture on the playing court, it was announced today by James Jones, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. The incident occurred with 1:31 remaining in the third quarter of the Bulls' 123-115 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 9 at Barclays Center.
Yossi Gozlan: The Charlotte Hornets need to create a roster spot before acquiring Tyus Jones. They can absorb him with their mid-level exception or the trade exception they created by trading Collin Sexton today. Jones could be a buyout candidate who can sign with any team but the Magic.

Still working the phones with a lot of focus with New Orleans and Houston, according to a source. Simons and Sexton are both free agents after the season and are still in play to be moved, while Ayo Dosunmu is being sought after, but the Bulls would have to be blown away to part with him.
Joel Lorenzi: Can confirm, via league source. Bulls end up moving on from Coby White, longest tenured Bull, and continue prioritizing young players and picks. Collin Sexton is 27, which doesn’t push him out of Bulls’ target timeline, but Ousmane Dieng is 22 and more closely fits that. He now gets a longer runway at tapping into his potential.
Collin Sexton hopes to still be doing that with the Hornets that beyond Thursday. “Oh, yeah,” Sexton said. “I definitely love it here. Love it in Charlotte. Close to home. I just love being a part of something, being a part of culture change. I like being able to come in and be a vet to the young guys. Be able to show them hard work pays off and also be able to be there for them through the ups, through the downs, through the wins, through the losses.” “And be able to just be a good stand-up dude at all times. We tend to forget that we’re humans first. Sometimes you just need a little bit of, ‘Oh, man, how you doing today?’ Or sometimes it’s ‘How’s your family doing?’ I feel like that’s something I bring to this team, being able to be that vet.”
“All the stuff that’s going on outside,” Sexton told The Charlotte Observer following Tuesday’s practice, “just continue to focus on what’s going on on the inside and continue to have the habits that we’ve been building since Day One, since we were in training camp, even in the summer as well. “Just block out what the distractions are. Don’t allow the distractions to leak over into the team, into the arena. So, that’s how I try to keep all that, all the nonsense and everything that’s going on outside — leaving it on the outside.”

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.
