Collins (foot) has agreed to a three-year, $22 million deal with the Spurs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Gonzaga product has dealt with a slew of injuries during his NBA career, most recently re-fracturing his surgically repaired left foot in June. Collins' last appearance in an NBA game came in the Blazers' final seeding game in the Orlando bubble prior to the start of the 2020 postseason. The 23-year-old has played in just 11 games since the 2018-19 season, and at this stage it's unclear when he'll be cleared to return to full-contact work.

Collins (foot) will not be extended a qualifying offer by the Trail Blazers, making him an unrestricted free agent, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being drafted 10th overall in 2017, Collins has appeared in just 154 total games, missing time due to injuries. Most recently, it was a broken foot that cost him all of 2020-21. With Collins becoming an unrestricted free agent, he can sign anywhere that offers him a deal without the possibility of Portland matching. However, given his injury history, it's not clear what sort of contract and role he'll step into next season. For his career, he's averaged 5.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game. He has upside as a three-point shooter (33.6 percent in his past 88 appearances) and shot blocker (1.4 blocks per 36 minutes).

Collins recently re-fractured his surgically repaired left foot, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins underwent a procedure in late December to address a left ankle stress fracture and appeared to have a shot to return late in the 2020-21 campaign after getting his cast removed in early February, but he ultimately missed the entire season after playing in just 11 games in 2019-20. With the Gonzaga product having now suffered yet another significant setback, his availability for the start of the 2021-22 season is in jeopardy. The 10th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, Collins was considered a relatively high-upside prospect after a pair of encouraging seasons to begin his career, but as the injuries continue to pile up, it's difficult to gauge how he'll be valued as he enters free agency this summer. Collins' last appearance in an NBA game came in the Blazers' final seeding game in the Orlando bubble (Aug. 15) prior to the start of the 2020 postseason.

Collins (ankle) remains out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Nuggets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins got his cast removed in early February, but it still remains unclear if the big man will be available for the playoffs in any capacity since the team has been quiet about his rehab. Fantasy managers drafting for a postseason league should operate under the assumption that he won't play.

Collins (ankle) will remain out for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins had his cast removed from his surgically-repaired left ankle in early February, but the big man remains without a clear timeline for making his 2020-21 debut. According to Jack Winter of SI.com, the Trail Blazers reportedly have some hope that Collins could be available for the playoffs, if not the final couple weeks of the regular season, which concludes May 16. Given Collins' lengthy layoff, the Trail Blazers likely won't be counting on him to play major minutes whenever he returns.

Collins had the cast on his surgically repaired left ankle removed Tuesday, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After making limited progress in his recovery from the initial surgery he required Sept. 1 for the ankle he injured at the 2019-20 season restart in Orlando, Collins underwent a second procedure Dec. 30. He's spent the past five weeks recovering from surgery at his home in Las Vegas, but now that his cast has been removed, he'll return to Portland to begin his rehabilitation process in earnest. Collins said Tuesday that his estimated timeline for a return from the second surgery is 4-to-6 months, so don't expect him to make his 2020-21 debut until after the All-Star break, if he isn't sidelined for the season entirely.

Collins (ankle) underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a left ankle stress fracture and is out indefinitely, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Trail Blazers were originally anticipating Collins being back by mid-to-late January, but it turns out he needed surgery. Being listed as out indefinitely, Collins could easily be out for the entire season, which ends in early March. Even if he returns, there likely won't be a big role waiting for him due to offseason additions and retentions from last year's roster. For fantasy managers in redraft leagues, even deep ones, Collins can probably be dropped.

Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey said Monday that Collins (ankle) likely won't be ready for game action until the second or third week of January, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olshey's comments indicate that Collins will be sidelined when the 2020-21 season begins in late December, an unsurprising development given that the big man underwent surgery in late August to address a left ankle injury. Collins was seen working out at the Trail Blazers' practice facility Monday, but the 23-year-old doesn't look like he's particularly close to resuming full-court, full-contact work just yet. Expect the newly re-signed Carmelo Anthony and free-agent pickup Derrick Jones to handle most of the minutes at power forward until Collins is ready to play again.

Collins' ankle injury requires surgery and he'll be out for the remainder of the season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being re-evaluated, it's been determined that Collins needs surgery, ending his season. He'll finish the season appearing in only 11 games, averaging 7.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.4 minutes. Wenyen Gabriel will likely continue to start in Collins' stead to help guard the Lakers' bigs and wings.

Collins, who has been officially diagnosed with a left ankle Malleolar stress reaction, is out for Game 2 and is set to be re-evaluated in one week, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The timetable means that Collins is expected to be sidelined for Games 3 and 4 as well. This is a significant blow to the Blazers, who have a thin bench and were forced to start Wenyen Gabriel against the Lakers in Game 1, though still pulled out an upset victory. Gabriel should be the primary beneficiary moving forward, but we may also see more minutes with Jusuf Nurkic and Hassan Whiteside on the court together, especially with Nurkic's new-found three-point competence.
