Impact Collins has yet to make his Bulls' debut since being traded from the Spurs on Sunday. He won't play in Chicago's next two games, and if he's not traded before Thursday's deadline, he should be available to take the floor Saturday. Collins played just 7.2 minutes per game with the Spurs since Dec. 29 while serving in a deep rotational role at center. If he sticks around in Chicago, Collins' playing time will be directly impacted by whether Nikola Vucevic is still around after the trade deadline.

Chicago debut won't happen Tuesday Collins won't be making his debut Tuesday after being traded to the Bulls, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Collins was among the many players involved in the three-team trade between the Bulls, Spurs and Kings. Unfortunately, the veteran big man's debut with Chicago won't happen Tuesday against the Heat, and there's a chance he could get flipped elsewhere in another deal before the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 6.

Will make Bulls debut Tuesday Collins (recently traded) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Collins was involved in Sunday's three-team trade that was centered around De'Aaron Fox going to the Spurs and Zach LaVine heading to the Kings. Collins, Kevin Huerter and Tre Jones were sent to Chicago as part of the transaction, and all three are set to make their Bulls debut Tuesday. Collins' playing outlook in Chicago currently looks about that same as it did in San Antonio, but he could move into a more meaningful role in the rotation if Nikola Vucevic is moved prior to Thursday's trade deadline.

Bound for Chicago The Spurs traded Collins to the Bulls on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Collins is involved in the NBA's second blockbuster move in less than 24 hours. In a three-team trade involving the Bulls, Kings and Spurs, Chicago will receive Collins, Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter and a 2025 first-round pick, Sacramento will receive Zach LaVine (personal), Sidy Cissoko, three first-round picks and three second-round picks and San Antonio will collect De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin. Collins was averaging just 4.6 minutes per game over his last eight outings while buried on the Spurs' depth chart behind Victor Wembanyama and Charles Bassey. Collins will likely be competing for playing time with Jalen Smith (illness) in Chicago, but the duo could see more minutes if the Bulls opt to trade Nikola Vucevic before the NBA trade deadline Feb. 6.

Re-enters rotation Sunday Collins tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one turnover while committing three fouls across seven minutes in Sunday's 112-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Collins saw his first action since Dec. 8, after he had missed the Spurs' subsequent two contests with a bilateral lower-back contusion before being cleared to return but subsequently getting held out of the rotation in five straight contests. The Spurs made room for Collins on Sunday by deploying a three-man rotation at center, with he and Charles Bassey (five minutes) stepping in when Victor Wembanyama (36 minutes) was off the court. Collins could eventually wrest the top backup job back from Bassey, but neither will hold much fantasy appeal so long as Wembanyama is available to handle his usual allotment of minutes.

Available to play Thursday Collins (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Collins will add some much-needed depth behind Victor Wembanyama at center, but he's not expected to have a big role in most fantasy formats. Collins is averaging just 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game when coming off the bench this season (20 appearances).

Iffy for Thursday Collins (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Collins has missed the past two games for the Spurs, but he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to return, Charles Bassey and Sandro Mamukelashvili will be the candidates to see increased workloads.

Out Sunday Collins (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact As expected, Collins has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second straight game. In his absence, Charles Bassey and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates for extra minutes behind Victor Wembanyama.

Doubtful to feature Sunday Collins (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact The doubtful tag suggests Collins isn't expected to play Sunday, which would represent a second straight absence for the former Gonzaga stud. Charles Bassey will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Victor Wembanyama if Collins ends up being sidelined.

Impact Collins sustained a bilateral lower back contusion after only three minutes of play during Sunday's win over the Pelicans. With the big man sidelined, Charles Bassey will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Victor Wembanyama.

With Wembanyama questionable to return and Collins already ruled out, Jeremy Sochan and Charles Bassey are candidates for an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.
