Cavs get second shot at playoffs, must slow Hawks' Young

Officially out Friday Collins (finger, foot) remains out for Friday's game at Cleveland, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact As expected, Collins' absence will continue through the Hawks' second play-in contest. KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reported that Collins did some 4-on-4 work Thursday, but it remains unclear when the big man might be able to return to action. Should the Hawks beat the Cavaliers on Friday and earn the eighth seed in the East, Collins could have an opportunity to return at some point in Round 1.

Won't play Wednesday Collins (finger, foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's play-in game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said Tuesday that the forward has been playing 4-on-4, but he won't be rushed back for the matchup against Charlotte. Per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, Collins is also unlikely to play Friday if the Hawks advance to the next round of the play-in tournament. In his absence, Clint Capela, Danilo Gallinari, De'Andre Hunter and Onyeka Okongwu are expected to shoulder the majority of Atlanta's frontcourt duties, but Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Jalen Johnson and Kevin Knox are also candidates to crack the rotation.

Status remains unclear Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said Tuesday that Collins (finger/foot) has been playing 4-on-4, but the team still isn't sure what his status will be for Wednesday's play-in matchu...

Impact On Monday, Collins said he's "still not sure" if he'll be available, and McMillan said Tuesday that "we'll see" when it comes to him possibly playing Wednesday. Neither of these statements offer any clarity on the situation, but they do suggest that the forward is progressing well and could return to action sooner rather than later. Even if he is ruled available, Collins would likely be limited, as he's played in just four contests since Feb. 11.

Status remains clouded The Hawks have not issued an update on Collins' (finger, foot) status ahead of Wednesday's play-in matchup against the Hornets, but the forward told Chris Kirchner of The Athletic...

Impact While on the surface this seems like a fairly positive update from Collins, who missed the final 16 games of the regular season, Kirschner notes that the big man is yet to progress beyond light shooting and light running. Collins went through a pregame workout prior to Sunday's game against the Rockets, but he still had a splint and a bandage on his sprained right middle finger. Collins appeared to be moving well on his strained right foot, but given that he hasn't done any full-contact work in more than a month, his chances to return Wednesday night appear relatively slim. Look for a more definitive update from the Hawks on Tuesday, but for now Collins should be considered doubtful.

Still not running or jumping Collins (finger, foot) has yet to return to any running or agility work, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.

Impact Coach Nate McMillan didn't have much to relay when asked about Collins' status Thursday, noting only that he "still isn't doing anything as far as running or jumping." The big man is dealing with a strained right foot, as well as a sprained right ring finger, which have combined to keep him sidelined for the last 10 contests. Based on McMillan's words, it doesn't sound as though Collins is close to returning, so chances are he'll miss at least the Hawks' six remaining regular season games.
