Fantasy Analysis
Sessions is also dealing with a jammed right index finger and is now sporting a splint on his finger along with a protective pad on his left shoulder. However, he has been able to pay through his injures thus far and is expected to be able to moving forward. Still, Fantasy owners -- especially in daily formats -- should keep an eye on his status moving forward. Sessions has developed into a high-end Fantasy option at the guard position since being dealt to Los Angeles, so leave him active in all formats as long as he is able to remain in the lineup.
