San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins will re-enter the starting lineup on Friday against Sacramento. He will replace Jeremy Sochan, who filled in for Victor Wembanyama (back) on Thursday. Sochan has just returned from injury, and it looks like the team wants to manage his load after he had a 36-minute outing Thursday night against Chicago. He should still play a significant role in Friday's game. Collins has averaged 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three previous starts this season. He faces a tough matchup against Domantas Sabonis on Friday, which might limit Collins' offensive contributions.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Thursday's matchup against Utah. Collins should continue to fill in as the starting center for Victor Wembanyama (knee). He's averaged 16.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in the first unit lately. The Jazz allow the most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers, making this a dream matchup for Collins. Charles Bassey might get some joy behind him as well.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (knee) is questionable heading into Thursday night's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Collins is dealing with left knee tendinitis but hasn't missed a game yet this season. The 27-year-old has made two straight starts filling in for Victor Wembanyama who will miss his third straight game on Thursday. Collins has notched 20 and 12 points in his two starts while grabbing six and seven boards. If active, fantasy managers should expect Collins to be in double-digits again. If he's not active, expect Charles Bassey to get the start.

According to ESPN's Michael C. Wright, San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (shoulder) will not play in the team's preseason game against the Magic on Wednesday. Despite not suiting up in the preseason, the 26-year-old has been participating in 5-on-5 drills during training camp after having shoulder surgery in April. Last season, Collins averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 0.8 blocks in 69 regular season contests. Saturday, he has another chance to make his preseason debut against Utah.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (shoulder) was cleared to participate in all basketball activities. Even better, he's anticipated to be ready for the Spurs opener in Dallas on October 24. The 26-year-old is a pivotal piece of the rotation and most recently averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 2023-24. However, he tore his labrum in April, resulting in surgery. As expected, Victor Wembanyama should see more minutes this season, likely meaning less work for Collins. Yet, the veteran will likely get more than a handful of starts in the 2024-25 campaign, so he should gain streaming attention.

According to NBA insider Michael Scotto, San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (shoulder) will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Collins is no stranger to surgical procedures. However, it's a tough blow, considering the 26-year-old has appeared in at least 63 games in each of the last two seasons. Fortunately, he's expected to be ready to go for the 2024-25 campaign. Collins remained productive last season despite the arrival of Victor Wembanyama, averaging 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He should continue to hold a spot in the rotation and get some starts when the new season begins in October, so he should have value for those in deeper fantasy formats.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Collins will make his return to the court after a one-game absence due to a concussion. His return will likely push Dominick Barlow out of the rotation. Collins will fill out the backup center minutes behind Victor Wembanyama. Lately, Collins has only been playing minutes in the teens which has limited his fantasy value. He could be a possible deep league option but there are probably more reliable options available.

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center Zach Collins (concussion) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Collins missed San Antonio's previous game against the Dallas Mavericks due to being in the concussion protocol. There is some optimism since Collins was at practice on Thursday with the rest of the team. However, the concussion protocol can't be rushed or expected to have a clear timetable. Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie will have the best chances of improving their stats if Collins is out. Bench minutes should open up for Dominick Barlow and Cedi Osman as well, on a roster with minimal depth.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (concussion) is out for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. After being placed in concussion protocol in the aftermath of Sunday's overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets, Collins will miss at least one game and hope to return in Friday's tilt versus the Memphis Grizzlies. San Antonio recalled Dominick Barlow from the G League on Tuesday for frontcourt depth, but they'll likely lean on rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama at the five in Collins' absence. Through 11 games without Collins in 2023-24, Wembanyama is averaging 23.0 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, and 3.8 combined steals plus blocks and could feast against a Dallas club that ranks 26th in opponent rebounding percentage (48.5%). Both the Spurs and Mavs sit in the top five in terms of possessions per game, so this should be a fast-paced affair.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) will suit up for Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 26-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.2 points with 5.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists. However, he's missed plenty of time this season because of various ailments, with an ankle injury keeping him off the floor the last three games. But Collins is good to go against the Pels, and with Keldon Johnson (elbow) sidelined, he could be more productive than usual.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (ankle) will miss his second game in a row with right ankle soreness on Monday. He was originally listed as questionable against the Washington Wizards, but he wasn't able to get through some of the pre-game checks to be able to play. With Collins on the mend, Dominick Barlow will likely step into the bench role again as he did in their last game on Saturday. Barlow clocked 18 minutes on the floor and posted nine points, four rebounds, one assist, and one block. He's only a viable streaming option in the deepest of leagues, otherwise fantasy managers can look elsewhere for some big man help.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game, as the team considers him questionable for Monday's matchup versus Washington. Collins came out of the lineup on Saturday versus Minnesota due to right ankle soreness as San Antonio completed a back-to-back. Dominick Barlow has a chance to play a bigger role without Collins, but he's not someone fantasy managers should consider adding.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Collins was questionable coming into this game, but the Spurs will ultimately hold him out in the second game of this back-to-back set. Victor Wembanyama figures to continue playing big minutes with Dominick Barlow cracking the rotation in Collins' absence.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's dealing with right ankle soreness. However, the 26-year-old logged 18 minutes on Friday versus the Portland Trail Blazers, so he could miss the second of back-to-back contests. Victor Wembanyama isn't on the injury report, meaning he should lessen the blow caused by Collins' potential absence. Also, Dominick Barlow, who's bounced back and forth between the G League this season, could see enough action to warrant streaming consideration in deeper fantasy formats.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Philadelphia. He returned from a right ankle sprain on Friday and played both games of a back-to-back. However, San Antonio could elect to keep him out of Monday's action to limit his load. Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili will be left as Victor Wembanyama's backups without Collins. It will be a tough matchup for everybody involved against the dominant Joel Embiid.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins is now expected to play in Saturday's game versus the Washington Wizards. The 26-year-old returned from a nine-game absence for Friday's showdown with the Charlotte Hornets, finishing with 16 points in 26 minutes of work. With Victor Wembanyama still on a minutes restriction, Collins will remain a pivotal component of the Spurs' rotation. However, his ceiling will be lower from a fantasy standpoint.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins will sit out Saturday's game against Washington for rest purposes. He returned from a nine-game absence on Friday versus Charlotte, and the team clearly doesn't want to push him too hard. After recovering from a right ankle sprain, Collins had a good game as a starter in 26 minutes with 14 points, four rebounds, and four assists. The Spurs were without Victor Wembanyama (rest), who's expected to return on Saturday, and he will replace Collins in the starting five.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) will return for Friday's matchup against the Hornets. Victory Wembanyama will take the night off to rest ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Wizards, so Collins will enter the starting lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.3 points this season. But he's logged 14.3 points in 23 appearances with the first five, meaning he should be included in all fantasy lineups. At the same time, Collins will see more attention than usual in DFS contests.

San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable tag heading into Friday's game against the Hornets. The 26-year-old's sprained ankle has kept him sidelined since December 29th, but he is expected to return to action on Friday. With Victor Wembanyama (rest) out, Collins is likely to get the start and could see a pretty big role in his return. He's averaged just under 25 minutes a game without Wembanyama this year, and he should see similar minutes in a good matchup against Charlotte.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said on Sunday that he expects center Zach Collins (ankle) to miss 2-to-4 weeks due to a sprained right ankle. Collins sustained the injury on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers in a game where he was holding down the frontcourt without Victor Wembanyama, causing him to miss Sunday's game. The 26-year-old playmaking big man leaves the 5-27 Spurs without one of their top contributors for multiple weeks, producing 12.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 triples per game. Collins is not necessarily a must-hold fantasy player, though. San Antonio's rotation can move in many different directions, since Wembanyama's one-of-a-kind frame should allow him to seamlessly shift to the five more frequently. That means more minutes should be available for some combination of Tre Jones, Malaki Branham, and Julian Champagnie.
