Coach Nate McMillan said Collison (knee) isn't expected to return this week, Clifton Brown of the Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collison has missed the Pacers' last nine games and appears ready to sit out the next three as well with games on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this week. It's certainly possible Colison misses more time following that, though tentatively consider Sunday's matchup with the Celtics his next opportunity to take the court. Look for additional updates to be provided once Collison is back on the floor for practice and for the time being, Cory Joseph should continue to work as the team's starting point guard.

Collison (knee) will remain out for Monday's matchup with the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Collison has missed the last nine games after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his knee early last month. He was initially given a 2-to-3-week timetable, but he's already exceeded that, and coach Nate McMillan acknowledged that the recovery process is going more slowly than anticipated. Regardless, Collison is expected to return sometime in the near future, and the team will likely evaluate him on a game-to-game basis going forward. For the time being, expect Cory Joseph to continue to start in Collison's place.

Collison (knee) will be out for the Pacers' upcoming four-game road trip, which begins Monday at Dallas and ends after March 4's game at Washington. According to coach Nate McMillan, "The recovery is not going as fast as we thought it would so it's going to take a bit of time. I'd say on this road trip, he won't be back."

EDGE Analysis

The team's starting point guard has been out over the past five games due to a left knee bruise, which has prompted Cory Joseph to assume the starting role. Over this stretch, Joseph has averaged just 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 30.6 minutes per game, ceding much of the team's usage to Victor Oladipo and Lance Stephenson.

Collison (knee) will remain out for at least another week, Pacers reporter Scott Agness of Vigilant Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collison is two weeks removed from having his left knee scoped, and while the All-Star break gave him some extra time to recover, he's still a week, or perhaps more, away from getting back to game action. As a result, expect Cory Joseph and Joe Young to continue absorbing the bulk of the minutes at point guard.

Collison (knee) will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee and will miss the next 2-to-3 weeks, Harrison Wind of BSN Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collison was listed as questionable for Monday's game with a bruised left knee, but the issue is apparently more serious, and he'll undergo surgery -- albeit relatively minor surgery -- in the coming days. Expect Collison to return shortly after the All-Star break, and in the meantime, Cory Joseph figures to fill in as the starter.

Collison is considered questionable to play Monday against the Wizards due to a bruised left knee.

EDGE Analysis

Collison apparently picked up the bruise during Saturday's win over the Sixers, in which he played 33 minutes and had 11 points, four assists, two rebounds, a block and two steals. It's likely nothing serious, but if the discomfort persists into the afternoon, it's possible the 30-year-old could be held out, which would mean increased minutes for Cory Joseph and Joe Young.

Collison produced 16 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and three steals across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 105-101 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Collison has found a nice role on the Pacers as a nightly double-digit scorer who earns a solid amount of assists. With Myles Turner returning to the starting lineup, the point totals may decrease, but he should have plenty of more opportunities to feed the weapons surrounding him to boost his assist values to make him a potential double-digit assist threat on some nights.

Collison totaled 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven assists, six steals, two rebounds and one block across 36 minutes in Friday's 115-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the last game with personal issues, Collison returned to the tune of a season-high in steals, swiping six passes. He continues to be an inconsistent offensive player for the Pacers, but lines like Friday night's proves why he is a good enough point guard to earn solid minutes on a nightly basis.

Collison will return to the starting lineup Friday against the Cavaliers, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

A personal issue kept Collison out of Wednesday's game, but, as expected, he'll be back in the lineup and available for a full workload Friday. In Sunday's win over the Spurs, Collison had 15 points, four assists, two rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes -- a strong bounceback after he struggled to score only five points on 1-of-9 shooting in a loss to the Lakers on Jan. 19. Collison's return to the starting lineup means Joe Young will move back to the bench.

Collison (personal) returned to practice Thursday and will play in Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers, Jeremiah Johnson of Fox Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collison was held out of Wednesday's game for personal reasons, but has since rejoined the team and it will only be a one-game layoff. Look for Collison to take back his typical role in the starting lineup and considering he wasn't dealing with any sort of injury, he should be set for a full workload. Fantasy owners should feel comfortable activating Collison ahead of Friday's contest. Look for Joseph Young to return to a bench role, while guys like Cory Joseph and Lance Stephenson see a few less minutes off the bench.
