Head coach Billy Donovan said he doesn't think Collins (toe) will return before the All-Star break, which begins Feb. 13, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins suffered a significant right big toe sprain in late December, and he's not expected to shed his walking boot until late January or early February, at the earliest, per Johnson. Collins' absence has meant more minutes for Julian Phillips and Patrick Williams.

The Bulls announced Saturday that Collins remains confined to a walking boot and is out indefinitely while he continues to recover from a "pretty significant" right big toe sprain, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Williams, the Bulls have no immediate plans for Collins to undergo a procedure on his foot, but the big man looks like he'll have to don the boot for the foreseeable future while he waits for his sprained toe to heal. Collins has already missed seven straight games due to the injury, and his absence appears likely to extend into February, and potentially through the All-Star break. With Collins out of the mix, the Bulls should have regular spots in the frontcourt rotation available for both Jalen Smith and Patrick Williams.

Collins is out for Saturday's game against Dallas due to a sprained right toe.
EDGE Analysis
The Bulls announced back on Dec. 31 that Collins would need to miss at least 10 days with the issue, and the team has yet to offer any additional details regarding the center's recovery. That said, it seems reasonable to deem Collins week-to-week as opposed to day-to-day until Chicago provides some clarity on his status.

Collins is expected to miss at least 10 more days with a sprained right toe, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Including Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans, the timetable for a return likely puts Collins out for at least six games. With Collins on the shelf, Jalen Smith is set to pick up the slack as the top backup center behind starter Nikola Vucevic.

Collins (toe), who won't play in Monday's game against Minnesota, is expected to be out for the rest of the week, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Networkreports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is battling a sprained right toe, and the timeline suggests he'll be sidelined for at least three more contests following Monday's action. With Collins on the mend, Jalen Smith should have the backup center role all to himself behind starter Nikola Vucevic.

Collins has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to right first toe soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Collins left Chicago's most recent game with an unspecified lower body injury, and it's now known he is dealing with a toe issue. His absence could mean more minutes for Jalen Smith and Patrick Williams. Collins' next chance to play will come Wednesday against New Orleans.

Collins limped to the locker room in the closing minutes of Saturday's 112-103 loss to Milwaukee, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins suffered an apparent lower body injury late in the contest and did not return. He logged 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes before exiting. He'll have minimal time to rest and recover, as the Bulls face Minnesota on Monday.

Collins closed Friday's 109-102 win over Philadelphia with 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran big man made the most of his 19-minute cameo off the bench in this win, missing just three shots from the field en route to posting his second-best scoring output of the season. Collins has scored in double digits in each of his last five outings off the bench, and while his role limits his upside, he might be a solid streaming option in deep formats for managers needing to add frontcourt depth. He's posted at least 10 points and five boards while logging less than 20 minutes in each of his last three appearances.
