Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Kobe Sanders, Isaiah Jackson and Derrick Jones, who will get the starting nod over Collins on Saturday.

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.
