Zach Collins News, Rumors, Updates - Chicago Bulls

Efficient off bench in win Collins closed Friday's 109-102 win over Philadelphia with 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes.

Impact The veteran big man made the most of his 19-minute cameo off the bench in this win, missing just three shots from the field en route to posting his second-best scoring output of the season. Collins has scored in double digits in each of his last five outings off the bench, and while his role limits his upside, he might be a solid streaming option in deep formats for managers needing to add frontcourt depth. He's posted at least 10 points and five boards while logging less than 20 minutes in each of his last three appearances.

Good to go Friday Collins (wrist) is available for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Impact As expected, Collins will shed his probable tag due to left wrist soreness. The 28-year-old center has appeared in each of Chicago's last five games, averaging 7.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.6 minutes per tilt over that stretch.

Probable against Cleveland Collins is probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to left wrist soreness.

Impact Collins is expected to be able to take on his usual responsibilities as a reserve alongside Jalen Smith on Friday. So far, Collins has averaged 7.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.4 minutes per game covering five appearances in 2025-26.

Scores 10 points in win Collins posted 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Collins logged his second double-digit scoring affair Wednesday, and has solidified his spot in the rotation. If Chicago continues to give minutes to all three of their centers, it would be hard to justify rostering Collins, as his workload would simply not be enough, but if either Jalen Smith or Nikola Vucevic were to go down, Collins would be a high-priority add.

Flirts with double-double Collins ended Friday's 129-126 win over the Hornets with 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 20 minutes.

Impact Collins had his best game of the season, falling two rebounds short of a double-double. With Nikola Vucevic struggling once again, Collins and Jalen Smith took it upon themselves to up the ante. While Collins does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, as long as Chicago is running a three-center rotation, it's hard to see either Collins or Smith having sustainable value. At this point, managers in standard leagues should simply monitor the situation.

Impact Collins looked decent in his regular-season debut, and it looks like he'll be operating as Nikola Vucevic's primary backup moving forward. As long as Vucevic is healthy, it'll be tough for Collins to earn enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy leagues.

Impact Collins, who has yet to make his regular-season debut as he's been recovering from wrist surgery, was listed as questionable for the first time this season for Wednesday's game.

Impact Collins has yet to make his 2025-26 season debut, but that could change Wednesday. The Bulls have struggled mightily to protect the paint this season, so Collins' addition to the rotation would be a welcome sight. Jalen Smith (hamstring) is also questionable, so there could be plenty of minutes available behind Nikola Vucevic on Wednesday.
