Darren Collison (finger) practiced on Friday after missing Wednesday's game against the Bulls. It's a good indication that Collison's finger injury isn't serious. He's apparently lost his starting job to Derek Fisher, which is an interesting decision by Rick Carlisle, but the coach likes him coming off the bench. He looked comfortable in a reserve role in his last game, scoring 12 points, dishing six assists and swiping five steals in 30 minutes.
