MILWAUKEE â Collin Sexton received multiple stitches to close a deep cut over his right eye after the Lakersâ 123-112 win over the Bucks on Wednesday night.
Sexton and Ryan Rollins headbutted midway through the fourth quarter while the Lakers guard was defending the Bucks guard.
Play was stopped with 6:51 remaining after it was clear Sexton was bleeding.Â
It wasnât known as of Wednesday night how many stitches the reserve guard needed.
His injury happened during the same game star guard Austin Reaves and Luka DonÄiÄ had early exits in the second half because of injury scares.
Reaves suffered a heel injury midway through the third quarter.
Coach JJ Redick said Reavesâ X-rays were negative and that he would get imaging on Thursday. Redick ruled out an Achilles tendon injury for Reaves, who didnât speak with reporters postgame.
DonÄiÄ had an injury scare with a few minutes left in the game when he clutched at his right ankle after Kyle Kuzma closed out against him as he made a 23-foot jumper.
He sat on the floor holding his ankle before getting up and making a free throw. DonÄiÄ told reporters afterward that he was âgoodâ despite the pain.Â
