Collins (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the 76ers, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has played in the last two games after being sidelined for nine games due to a sprained right ankle, but he finds his status in the air ahead of Monday's game. If he is unable to go, Dominick Barlow will likely be brought up to the main roster and serve as the backup center to Victor Wembanyama.

Collins (rest) is not in the starting lineup to face the Wizards on Saturday. However, he will be available to play off the bench.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Collins won't start with Victor Wembanyama back in the mix. He was tabbed as out on Friday night but upgraded to probable earlier Saturday, and in the end, he is available to see minutes off the bench.

Collins (rest) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was ruled out following Friday's loss to the Hornets, but now he's trending toward playing and being available to face the Wizards in the second half of this back-to-back set. During the loss to Charlotte, Collins made his first appearance since Dec. 29 after missing the Spurs' previous nine games with a sprained right ankle.

Collins will be rested for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins made his first appearance since Dec. 29 against the Hornets on Friday in a 124-120 loss, finishing with 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 26 minutes. The Spurs will tread carefully with Collins, however, but he should be back in the rotation for Monday's game against the 76ers. Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama (rest) is fully expected to play against the Wizards after taking the night off against the Hornets.

Collins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus Charlotte, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins hasn't played since Dec. 29 due to a right ankle sprain but is nearing a return to action. The Spurs have seen improved results with Victor Wembanyama at center, so it remains to be seen if Collins will re-enter the starting lineup when available.

Collins (ankle) progressed to 3-on-3 work Wednesday and said he's optimistic he can return before the end of San Antonio's five-game road trip, which ends Monday in Philadelphia, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins hasn't played since Dec. 29 due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Charlotte, but that's the first half of a back-to-back set, so it seems his earliest return date will likely be Monday's matchup against the 76ers. Victor Wembanyama has been starting at center in Collins' absence, but the Rookie of the Year candidate prefers to play power forward, so it'll be interesting to see how the lineup shakes out when Collins is back in the mix.

Collins (ankle) has been ruled for Monday's matchup against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
On Dec. 31, coach Gregg Popovich said Collins would miss 2-to-4 weeks with a sprained right ankle. It's been two weeks since that statement, and there hasn't been another update. Barring a return to practice soon, Collins can be considered week-to-week moving forward, with the likelihood he's not cleared until late January. In Collins' absence, Victor Wembanyama has been starting at center, while Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili handle backup roles.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he's expecting Collins (ankle) to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
EDGE Analysis
This timeline would make Jan. 15 against the Hawks the earliest possible return date, but the Spurs will likely provide more clarity in the coming days. For now, fantasy managers should plan on Collins missing at least the next six games. With Collins out of the lineup Sunday against Boston, Sandro Mamukelashvili played 20 minutes and produced seven points, seven rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer.
