Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (toe) will undergo surgery to repair a sprained right toe and miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The veteran big man has been sidelined since late December and was limited to 10 games, averaging 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.9 three-pointers in 18.4 minutes. With Collins out, Jalen Smith is the clear fantasy winner and projects as a long-term hold if he stays healthy after posting nine points, 10 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and one block in 24 minutes in his return.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Zach Collins (toe) doesn't have a timeline for his return, Joe Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan told reporters before Saturday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks that Collins' toe injury is a "pretty significant sprain," and that he will be in a walking boot for the foreseeable future. Collins hasn't played for Chicago since Dec. 27. In his absence, Jalen Smith (concussion) has a larger role. Smith will return from a two-game absence on Saturday after clearing concussion protocol.

Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (toe) will not suit up against the Orlando Magic while he continues to deal with a toe sprain. The 28-year-old has already missed two consecutive games prior to Friday, and has only appeared in 10 games so far this season. While he's been out, Jalen Smith has seen some added playing time and has joined the starting five alongside Nikola Vucevic while the team experiments with lineups. Smith is widely available in most fantasy formats and averages 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.4 threes per game in his 28 appearances.

According to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (toe) will be sidelined at least 10 more days due to a sprained right toe. The timetable for a return likely puts Collins out of action for at least six contests. His injury occurred in the closing minutes of Saturday's loss to Milwaukee. The 28-year-old big man finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes before leaving the floor. While Collins is sidelined, Jalen Smith will see an expanded role backing up starting center Nikola Vucevic.

According to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (toe) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Collins is expected to be sidelined the rest of the week due to a sprained right toe. His injury occurred in the closing minutes of Saturday's loss to Milwaukee. The 28-year-old big man finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes before leaving the floor. With the timetable presented, he will be sidelined for at least three more games. With Collins on the shelf, Nikola Vucevic will be assigned extra minutes at center.

Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (lower body) exited in the closing minutes of Saturday's loss to Milwaukee and did not return, putting his availability for Monday against Minnesota in question. Collins finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes before leaving the floor. The timing is notable given his recent bench production, averaging 11.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in 19.3 minutes while scoring in double figures in six straight games. If Collins misses time, Nikola Vucevic would absorb heavier center minutes, while Jalen Smith becomes a deeper-league rebound streamer after logging six points and 10 rebounds in 22 minutes Saturday.

Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (wrist) will be active against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Collins made his season debut only recently and has played in five consecutive games. He has averaged 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 17.4 minutes as a backup big for the Bulls. The 28-year-old has faced Cleveland already once this week, finishing an impressive 127-111 win on Wednesday with 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Chicago Bulls center Zach Collins (wrist) is available to make his season debut on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. He has been on the shelf with a wrist injury. Collins will reportedly be limited to 20 minutes on Friday night. A season ago, Collins averaged 15.3 minutes a night, posting 6.4 points and 4.5 rebounds. He will only have significant fantasy value if Nikola Vucevic is out of the lineup, and that won't be the case against Indiana.

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.
