Collison (knee) will play during Friday's contest against the Hawks and is expected to come off the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Collison, who has missed 11 straight games, went through a full practice Thursday and will be available for a limited role off the bench and he continues to get his wind back. Once he's re-integrated into the starting five, he'll end up pushing Cory Joseph -- who's averaged 8.6 points, 4.7 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 33.7 minutes in Collison's absence -- back to the pine.
