Collison will start Saturday against the Magic in place of Rudy Gay (shoulder), Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Rudy Gay ruled out due to a shoulder strain, Collison will get the start alongside Rajon Rondo and Ben McLemore in the King's backcourt Saturday against the Magic. Considering Collison just returned from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, it's unclear how much time he might log with Rondo and McLemore on the floor at the same time. The 28-year-old guard had been a consistent presence for the Kings prior to the injury, averaging 15 points and five assists a game, so it seems likely Collison could put up favorable numbers against the Magic if he can exceed 30 minutes -- something he hasn't been able to do in the previous two games.
