Collin Sexton is reportedly signing a four-year, $72 million contract with the Utah Jazz as part of a sign-and-trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Donovan deal, sources tell The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Sexton appeared in just 11 games in 2021 as he underwent surgery in November for a torn meniscus, but made a full recovery and was cleared for basketball activities earlier this summer.

The year prior he had averaged 24.3 points per game for the Cavaliers, as well as a career-high 4.4 assists and one steal per game.

Signing the contract is part of a move that will send Mitchell to Cleveland as Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps go to Utah.
