Collison (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest in New Orleans, the Kings' official site reports.
Collison has been diagnosed with a left quad contusion and is a veritable game-time decision Tuesday. In five games since his return to the lineup from a stiff left shoulder, he's posted 17.6 points (on 50 percent shooting), eight dimes,2.4 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers, and one steal in 36 minutes per contest. While Collison's status is up in the air, Ramon Sessions (knee) is also questionable, leaving a potential quandary at point guard.

Collison scored 13 points (3-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), with 11 assists and two rebounds in 31 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans.
Collison didn't have his best shooting night, but distributed the ball well. He's a strong fantasy option at the point guard position, and his value won't decrease anytime soon.

Collison tallied a line of 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. He played 37 minutes in a tough loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday.
Collison has really made this Sacramento team look like a contender since signing as a free agent. His all-around ability and decision making make him a top-10 point guard this season if he can stay healthy. Start him across the board in all fantasy formats.

Collison (shoulder) will start in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, The Sacramento Bee reports.
Collison will return to the lineup as well as the starting five Thursday against the Grizzlies. He sat Tuesday with an injury unknown before the day of the game. It was obviously something minor, though it's possible his minutes could be limited if he's not 100 percent.

Collison (shoulder) practiced Wednesday and will play in Thursday's game, the Sacramento Bee's Jason Jones reports.
He sat out Tuesday's game, but after a couple days off, he should be ready to take on the starting point guard role again against the Grizzlies.

Collison (shoulder) is officially listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Collison came into the game considered as doubtful, so it's not a surprise he isn't able to give it a go. He went through warm-ups with the team, but just didn't feel healthy enough to play. Considering he was almost able to participate Tuesday, it seems likely he'll be able to play in the Kings' next game Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Collison is dealing with left shoulder stiffness and is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.
This is the first we're hearing of the injury, which likely isn't anything too serious. Regardless, Collison appears unlikely to play Tuesday, which should elevate Ramon Sessions into the starting lineup. In his first season with the Kings, Collison is averaging 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists through seven contests.

Collison played 32 minutes in the victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. He contributed 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight assists, one steal, and one block with no turnovers.
Collison played second fiddle to Chris Paul in Los Angeles, but now finally has his chance to shine in Sacramento. His passing ability is solid and he is really coming into his own this season with the Kings. Making everyone around you better is the primary job of a point guard and he is certainly doing that, as demonstrated by Sacramento's new-found winning ways.

Collison scored 21 points (5-9 FG, 11-13 FT) with six assists and four rebounds in 30 minutes during Monday's win over the Nuggets.
It's early yet, but Collison seems to have finally found a home as the starting point guard for the Kings. Don't be surprised if he finished the season with career highs nearly across the board.

Collison played with a determined demeanor on Sunday and while he didn't perform exceptionally well, he was still able to put up good enough numbers to win the game. He finished with 14 points, five rebounds, four assists, and one block in a team high 39 minutes.
Collision appears to be in no trouble of losing minutes to backup Ramon Sessions who, after playing bigger minutes in the preseason, has yet to top 10 minutes in the first three games of the season. Collision has been playing well during this stretch as well, averaging 15 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes.
