CLEVELAND (WJW) – The Cleveland Cavaliers have announced that guard Collin Sexton will be out for the rest of the season after sustaining a left knee injury on Nov. 7 in New York.

The 22-year-old left the game in the second quarter and did not return. An MRI at the Cleveland Clinic revealed a meniscus tear.

In a Tweet Friday night, the team said Sexton underwent successful surgery Wednesday at the Emory University Sports Medicine Center in Atlanta.
