John Collins News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Slated to miss one week Collins is expected to miss the next week due to a neck strain, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Collins participated in on-court activities Monday but isn't expected to be available during a busy week for the Clippers that includes three games in four days beginning Wednesday. The power forward hasn't played since departing early March 1 against the Warriors due to lingering neck soreness, which has now been classified as a strain. Kobe Sanders figures to see increased opportunities during Collins' continued absence. Based on the one-week absence timeline, the veteran could return to action March 16 against the Spurs, though an update on the likelihood of that return will likely come closer to that contest.

Could return Sunday Collins (head/neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins has missed the Clippers' last two games due to a head laceration and neck soreness, but the veteran forward has a chance to make his return for the front end of the team's back-to-back set Sunday. Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller would continue to operate in elevated roles if one or both of Collins and Kawhi Leonard (ankle/illness) are unable to play. Collins averaged 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 threes over 29.3 minutes per game in February.

Impact Collins is out for a second consecutive contest due to a head laceration and neck soreness. Sunday's tilt against the Pelicans marks the 28-year-old power forward's next chance to suit up. With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) also sidelined, Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders appear to be worth streaming in most fantasy formats in a pinch.

Impact Collins getting through practice is an encouraging sign, but for now, he should be viewed as questionable for Thursday's game. If he's cleared to return, Kobe Sanders would likely head back to the second unit and Nicolas Batum could lose some minutes.
