Nick Collison returned to action on Wednesday January 25.

Nick Collison (ankle) will play on Wednesday. Collison suffered an ankle injury on Monday and did not return to the game. He'll be fine going forward and will continue to hurt Serge Ibaka's fantasy value in Scott Brooks' rotation.

Nick Collison suffered an ankle injury during Monday's blowout win and did not return, playing nine minutes on his way to two points, one rebound, and one block. Collison is being called day-to-day heading into Wednesday's game against the Hornets. Serge Ibaka owners have to be thrilled, though there's no guarantee Scott Brooks gives Ibaka the minutes. He'll probably choose to develop 60-year old Nazr Mohammed.

Nick Collison double-doubled off Oklahoma City's bench on Sunday, scoring 12 points with 10 rebounds, two assists and zero turnovers in 22 minutes. Not coincidentally, Serge Ibaka (10 points, five rebounds, three blocks) also played 22 minutes. Fantasy owners probably wish Collison would retire, or demand a trade, but as long as he's around it seems coach Scott Brooks will persist in splitting minutes between his PFs.

Nick Collison scored eight points on 4-of-4 shooting with three rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench on Thursday. This is his best showing of the year on the stat sheet, as Collison is a guy whose worth in reality is much greater than it is in fantasy.
