Collison is expected to move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Hornets with Rudy Gay (shoulder) on track to rejoin the starting lineup, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Gay sidelined for the Kings' previous game Saturday against the Magic, Collison picked up the start at shooting guard alongside Rajon Rondo and played a season-high 36 minutes. Considering that Collison had played 28 and 21 minutes when he came off the bench in the Kings' preceding two games, it seems likely that he'll settle back into that range Monday now that Gay is back, but he could still offer enough contributions as a scorer and assist man to remain active.
