Collin Sexton: ‘I want to be here in Cleveland’

A decision on Sexton is looming. But for now, he has stated his desire on where he hopes to suit up next season. “I want to be here in Cleveland,” Sexton said. “I love the organization, love my teammates and whatever happens, I know that Cleveland was really good to me. I know this is the place that helped me get to where I am today, and I know I want to continue to be a part of this winning culture and be a part of this culture. I feel like me just being able to be at the start of it helped us get to where we are yesterday and where we are right now at the present. So, I love Cleveland. I want to be here.”

More on this storyline

“The plan has definitely worked and Koby has definitely done his thing. Just continue to grow and continue to get better every day.” That likely helps Sexton deal with his rehab and his uncertain future, as he will be a restricted free agent after this season. The Cavs will have the right to match any offer sheet Sexton receives, although it could be a short-term deal. “It’s tough, but everything happens for a reason,” Sexton said of his injury. “I’ll be back stronger and back better.” -via Akron Beacon Journal / February 20, 2022
