Los Angeles Clippers forward John Collins (ankle) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Collins is back in action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He should move back into the starting five which should push Nicolas Batum to the second unit. Collins should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game. Fellow forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game, so Collins could be asked to take on a larger role offensively if Leonard sits out.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. This is a bit surprising, as the team listed Collins as probable on the initial injury report.

Collins logged eight points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in 29 minutes during his last start against Dallas, showing modest production despite a steady run. His fantasy outlook could improve if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sits, which would open more usage and scoring chances. Collins remains a situational hold in standard leagues. Jordan Miller and Derrick Jones Jr. could also see slight bumps in minutes depending on Leonard's status.

Leonard's absence is also likely to increase the offensive usage of Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (neck) isn't expected to play this week, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. He will be out for a fifth consecutive game on Monday night against the New York Knicks. It looks like Collins will then miss at least three more games due to a neck strain. As a result of Collins' absence, Kobe Sanders' role on the team has grown, but he hasn't been a reliable source for fantasy value. Collins is the second Clippers big man to go down in a short period, joining Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot), who has been ruled out for the season. Brook Lopez and Isaiah Jackson must now hold down the fort at center,

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (neck) and center Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) will miss the team's upcoming back-to-back on the road against San Antonio and Memphis, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Collins was already ruled out for the rest of the week before Wednesday's win over Indiana, while Konan Niederhauser injured his right foot in the game. Due to the shortage of healthy big men, Isaiah Jackson seems poised to take on a bigger role for at least a couple of games. Jackson had 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and three blocks in 18 minutes against his former team on Wednesday night. Injuries to other bigs could also require starting center Brook Lopez to take on a slightly increased workload.

The athletic big man is dealing with a neck strain and will be out for a second consecutive game. Kobe Sanders grabbed Collins' spot in the starting unit on Monday night against Golden State and is likely to keep it.

He may be more successful in Wednesday's matchup against a leaky defense.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (neck) will not play Monday against the Warriors after the issue resurfaced on the second night of a back-to-back, per Justin Russo. Collins is averaging 19.6 usage in 27.7 minutes per game and leaves a meaningful frontcourt gap. Darius Garland is set to make his team debut and could absorb a chunk of Collins' workload, while Kawhi Leonard may see a slight usage bump. Nicolas Batum logged 20 minutes with 9 points, three rebounds, four assists, and three triples Sunday, but he remains a low-ceiling deep-league option.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (elbow) left Sunday's win over the Pelicans late in the fourth quarter with a right arm injury, and his status for the next contest remains unclear. Collins posted 15 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and one assist in 24 minutes before exiting, and his 19.0 percent usage would free up meaningful touches if he sits. Bennedict Mathurin is the more appealing fantasy target after logging 25 minutes with nine points and five rebounds in the blowout. Nicolas Batum chipped in nine points, four assists, and three triples in 20 minutes, though his limited role and up-and-down production keep him in the deep-league streamer bucket.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (head) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans after missing two contests. Collins has averaged 28.7 minutes, 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists over his last five appearances, providing steady mid-round production. His return should tighten the frontcourt rotation, cutting into the minutes of Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders. Collins is safe to deploy in standard formats, especially with Darius Garland (toe) still out, while Kawhi Leonard and Bennedict Mathurin remain primary scoring options.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (head) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando after sustaining a head laceration and neck soreness in Friday's loss to the Lakers. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday. In his absence, Bennedict Mathurin should continue handling elevated usage after posting 26 points and seven rebounds in 32 minutes last game. Nicolas Batum saw 15 minutes with three rebounds, two assists, and one steal, but remains a low-upside option. Mathurin is the preferred short-term play, while Batum and Kobe Sanders are fringe, deeper-league considerations. Kawhi Leonard's (ankle) status could further shape wing minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (head) left Friday's game against the Lakers after taking a hard fall in the second quarter and did not return. He was ruled questionable to come back but remained sidelined for the rest of the contest, placing his status for Sunday's matchup against Orlando in doubt.

Nicolas Batum could see a modest minutes bump, while Kobe Sanders may re-enter the rotation. Mathurin profiles as the priority add.

With Collins sidelined, Nicolas Batum started in Sunday's win over the Detroit Pistons. The French veteran is likely to remain in the starting unit if Collins doesn't return. Batum had a solid but unspectacular performance on Sunday, finishing with 12 points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal.

Los Angeles Clippers forward John Collins (illness) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. He's not feeling well, so fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll return on Tuesday night versus the Sacramento Kings. The Clippers are also down Ivica Zubac (ankle), meaning Ty Lue may continue to rely on Nicolas Batum, who had three points, two boards, and one steal in 30 minutes from off the bench in Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, to spend more time underneath the basket.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Clippers acquired forward/center John Collins from the Utah Jazz on Monday in a three-team deal that sent guardNorman Powell to Miami. The trade also included forwards Kevin Love,Kyle Anderson and a 2027 second-round pick landing in Utah. Collins averaged 19.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals last season.

However, Collins was limited to only 40 games due to various injuries. The Jazz have a developing roster, so the team may prioritize giving their young players the most minutes. That's not to say Collins won't have a role, but fantasy managers may not see consistent production from him during the 2025 campaign. He's also had issues staying off the injury report over the years, which is another red flag.

Filipowski is available in a wider range of leagues and just posted 21 points, four rebounds, and two assists in their last game against the Washington Wizards.

The Utah Jazz have announced that forward John Collins (ankle) has suffered a lateral ankle sprain in his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 27-year-old has battled a multitude of injuries this season and appeared in 40 of a possible 66 games so far.

Sensabaugh averages 9.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while Filipowski has posted 8.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists.
