Out 4 weeks with wrist injury Collins will be sidelined for at least four weeks due to a left wrist fracture, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Impact This injury occurred in Chicago's preseason finale. Based on this timetable, the earliest Collins will be able to return is Nov. 16 against the Jazz. Collins was projected to open the regular season at the backup center behind Nikola Vucevic, but those minutes may need fall to Jalen Smith. The Bulls could also opt for smaller and quicker lineups, however.

Plays five minutes Collins chipped in two points (1-1 FG) and one assist over five minutes during Wednesday's 109-90 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.

Impact Although he didn't see much run in this game, Collins saw his role increase in 2024-25 following his trade from the Spurs. He appeared in 28 games for Chicago, averaging 8.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 19.7 minutes per game.

Pulls down eight boards Collins chipped in four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes during Sunday's 131-117 victory over the Hornets.

Impact With Nikola Vucevic healthy and starting, Collins has been used sparingly by the Bulls in recent games. In his last seven outings, Collins has averaged 14.4 minutes per contest with 5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists, limiting his fantasy appeal to very deep leagues.

Flirts with double-double Collins racked up 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Saturday's 120-119 loss to Dallas.

Impact Collins scored double-digits for the second straight game, continuing to play as the primary backup behind Nikola Vucevic. Following an encouraging stretch during which he scored at least 15 points in five consecutive games when Vucevic was injured, Collins has settled into a consistent, yet subtle role. Over the past seven games, he is averaging 6.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game.

Efficient in limited run Thursday Collins totaled six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds over eight minutes during Thursday's 128-116 victory over the Kings.

Impact Collins received fewer than 10 minutes of playing time for the first time since logging a DNP via a coach's decision Feb. 12. The big man will likely continue to see fewer minutes as long as Nikola Vucevic and Patrick Williams aren't restricted.

Nears double-double off bench Collins recorded nine points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 victory over the Nets.

Impact Collins didn't have a lot of touches on offense and didn't have a ton of minutes overall, but he made the most of his time out there. Collins not only finished one rebound and one point away from posting a double-double, but he also outplayed Nikola Vucevic, who was returning to the first unit, by a sizable margin. That said, Collins should continue to play off the bench in the foreseeable future, so his fantasy upside should remain fairly limited.

Retreating to bench Thrusday Collins is not in the Bulls' starting lineup against the Nets on Thursday.

Impact Collins will cede his place in the starting lineup to Nikola Vucevic on Thursday. Collins started in the Bulls' last eight games, and over that span he averaged 14.9 points on 58.7 percent shooting (including 37.0 percent from three on 3.4 3PA/G), 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per contest.

Plays well in win Collins contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 121-103 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Nikola Vucevic came off the bench during his return from a seven-game absence streak due to a calf injury, but head coach Billy Donovan said after the game that he would "eventually" return to the starting lineup, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. That's bad news for the fantasy value of Collins, but his fantasy managers may want to hold him until that actually happens. Over his last eight outings, Collins has averaged 14.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.
