Collins (neck) won't travel with the Clippers for their upcoming two-game road trip, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This news means that Collins will miss Friday's game in San Antonio and Saturday's game in Memphis, and while he'll be re-evaluated when the team returns to Los Angeles, his timetable remains unclear. Managers currently fighting through the playoffs may need to consider dropping Collins, who will miss all four of the Clippers' games during Week 19.

Collins (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will miss his second straight game due to a neck injury that he suffered during Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans. Kobe Sanders drew the start in Collins' stead Monday and will be a candidate to do so again Wednesday.

Collins won't play in Monday's game against the Warriors due to neck soreness, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins appeared to injure his right arm late in Sunday's 137-117 win over the Pelicans, but his exit was apparently the result of a sore neck, which had kept him out for the Clippers' previous two contests. The severity of the latest recurrence of the neck issue isn't yet known, but Collins will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. Darius Garland (toe) is set to make his Clippers debut Monday and could end up absorbing most of Collins' minutes while sliding into the starting lineup.

Collins left Sunday's game against the Pelicans early and did not return due to an apparent right arm injury.
EDGE Analysis
Collins went down holding his right arm late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game before exiting for the locker room. He finished the contest with 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and an assist in 24 minutes. If he is forced to miss time, Nicolas Batum and Bennedict Mathurin could see expanded roles.

Collins (head/neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins will shake off his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a head laceration and neck soreness. Over nine February appearances, the forward averaged 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders.

Collins (head/neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has missed the Clippers' last two games due to a head laceration and neck soreness, but the veteran forward has a chance to make his return for the front end of the team's back-to-back set Sunday. Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller would continue to operate in elevated roles if one or both of Collins and Kawhi Leonard (ankle/illness) are unable to play. Collins averaged 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 threes over 29.3 minutes per game in February.

Collins (neck/head) won't play in Thursday's game against Minnesota, per Law Murray of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is out for a second consecutive contest due to a head laceration and neck soreness. Sunday's tilt against the Pelicans marks the 28-year-old power forward's next chance to suit up. With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) also sidelined, Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders appear to be worth streaming in most fantasy formats in a pinch.

Collins (head/neck) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves, Janis Carr of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was able to get through Wednesday's practice, so the questionable tag is encouraging. If he's cleared to return, Kobe Sanders would likely return to the second unit.

Collins (head/neck) practiced Wednesday, but his status for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves has not yet been determined, Janis Carr of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins getting through practice is an encouraging sign, but for now, he should be viewed as questionable for Thursday's game. If he's cleared to return, Kobe Sanders would likely head back to the second unit and Nicolas Batum could lose some minutes.

Collins has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic due to a head laceration and neck soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Collins sustained the head and neck injuries during Friday's loss to the Lakers and won't suit up Sunday. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Minnesota. In the meantime, Bennedict Mathurin and Nicolas Batum are candidates for increased roles, while Kobe Sanders could rejoin the rotation.
