Collins (back) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Collins made his return from a three-game absence Friday, posting 29 points (12-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during a win over Minnesota, but he was back in street clothes Sunday and will likely miss the second half of Utah's back-to-back set as well. With Lauri Markkanen (back) already out, KJ Martin, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for increased roles again, though Utah is expected to have Walker Kessler (rest) available Monday.

Collins has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to low back injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Collins made his return from a three-game absence Friday, posting 29 points (12-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 27 minutes. However, he'll be back in street clothes for the first half of a back-to-back set. With Lauri Markkanen (back/rest) also out, KJ Martin, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh are all candidates for increased roles.

Collins accumulated 29 points (12-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 27 minutes during Friday's 117-116 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Collins finished Friday's contest as the game's leading scorer and rebounder. He did most of his damage through the first three quarters, but he attempted only one field goal in the fourth quarter and failed to reach the 30-point threshold for the first time this season. Part of that may have been due to an undisclosed injury that caused Collins to briefly leave in the third quarter, and the injury report will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Collins returned early in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against Minnesota, per the Jazz's official broadcast.

EDGE Analysis

Collins briefly left in the third quarter of Friday's game due to an undisclosed injury. However, he checked in for Cody Williams at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and it appears whatever Collins went to the locker room for isn't serious.

Collins went to the locker room during Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to an undisclosed injury, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what happened to Collins, though he checked himself out of the game and went straight to the locker room following a dunk. At the time of his departure, he had notched 29 points and 10 rebounds in only 19 minutes. Losing him for the rest of the game would be a huge blow for the Jazz.

Collins (back) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Collins will return Friday from a three-game absence due to back soreness. He averaged 19.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.4 blocks over 33 minutes per game in his nine outings prior to his injury. Collins' return will likely lead to a decrease in playing time for KJ Martin and Brice Sensabaugh.

Collins (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The questionable tag is an upgrade for Collins, who will have a chance Friday to end a three-game absence with back soreness. If the star big man is able to rejoin Utah's lineup against Minnesota, fewer minutes would be available to KJ Martin and Brice Sensabaugh. Look for the Jazz to update Collins' status closer to tipoff.

Collins (back) is out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has been dealing with lower back soreness and is set to miss a third straight game, marking also the fourth time he has sat out since the beginning of February. The veteran forward will aim to return for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, and KJ Martin could remain in the lineup as his replacement.

Collins (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Collins will miss a second consecutive game due to lower-back soreness, and it will be the third time he's sat out of a game since the beginning of February. KJ Martin started in Saturday's win over the Rockets, and he'll likely remain in the starting five Monday due to Collins' absence. Collins will look to return Wednesday against Sacramento.

Collins (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins will sit out a game for the first time since Feb. 8, but injuries have limited him to just 11 out of a possible 23 games since the beginning of January. His next chance to play will come against the Trail Blazers on Monday.
