Collison scored 22 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT) with three rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes against the Magic on Saturday night.

Collison is having the best statistical output of his career. There is no reason he should be out of many lineups at this point.

Collison came out strong against the Pacers on Friday with 20 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists, and four steals in 39 minutes of action.

After struggling against the Raptors on Tuesday, Collison came out aggressive and filled the stat sheet Friday against the Pacers. It appears Collison is healthy. He has been averaging just north of six assists per game. The Kings take on the Magic on Saturday, who have been generous to point guards this season.

Collison (quad) returned from a two-game absence and scored 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and added three rebounds, two assists, and a block in 35 minutes.

It was a slightly underwhelming return for Collison, who hit his season average for scoring, but fell noticeably short in assists. Nonetheless, managers were probably just glad to see him return to action, since Collison is now far too valuable to consider dropping while he recovers from a short-term injury. Owners should use Collison as they were doing before this injury.

Collison (quadriceps) is now listed as probable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Collison was originally listed as questionable for Friday's game but he's now in line to play. He'll ultimately need to make it through pregame warmups successfully before it's official, however.

He has a left quad contusion and should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game. Ramon Sessions and Ray McCallum figure to see the minutes at point guard Tuesday.

Collison (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest in New Orleans, the Kings' official site reports.

Collison has been diagnosed with a left quad contusion and is a veritable game-time decision Tuesday. In five games since his return to the lineup from a stiff left shoulder, he's posted 17.6 points (on 50 percent shooting), eight dimes,2.4 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers, and one steal in 36 minutes per contest. While Collison's status is up in the air, Ramon Sessions (knee) is also questionable, leaving a potential quandary at point guard.

Collison scored 13 points (3-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), with 11 assists and two rebounds in 31 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans.

Collison didn't have his best shooting night, but distributed the ball well. He's a strong fantasy option at the point guard position, and his value won't decrease anytime soon.

Collison tallied a line of 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. He played 37 minutes in a tough loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday.

Collison (shoulder) will start in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, The Sacramento Bee reports.

Collison will return to the lineup as well as the starting five Thursday against the Grizzlies. He sat Tuesday with an injury unknown before the day of the game. It was obviously something minor, though it's possible his minutes could be limited if he's not 100 percent.

He sat out Tuesday's game, but after a couple days off, he should be ready to take on the starting point guard role again against the Grizzlies.

Collison (shoulder) is officially listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Collison came into the game considered as doubtful, so it's not a surprise he isn't able to give it a go. He went through warm-ups with the team, but just didn't feel healthy enough to play. Considering he was almost able to participate Tuesday, it seems likely he'll be able to play in the Kings' next game Thursday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Collison is dealing with left shoulder stiffness and is considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.

This is the first we're hearing of the injury, which likely isn't anything too serious. Regardless, Collison appears unlikely to play Tuesday, which should elevate Ramon Sessions into the starting lineup. In his first season with the Kings, Collison is averaging 14.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists through seven contests.

Collison played 32 minutes in the victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. He contributed 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight assists, one steal, and one block with no turnovers.

Collison played second fiddle to Chris Paul in Los Angeles, but now finally has his chance to shine in Sacramento. His passing ability is solid and he is really coming into his own this season with the Kings. Making everyone around you better is the primary job of a point guard and he is certainly doing that, as demonstrated by Sacramento's new-found winning ways.

Collison scored 21 points (5-9 FG, 11-13 FT) with six assists and four rebounds in 30 minutes during Monday's win over the Nuggets.

It's early yet, but Collison seems to have finally found a home as the starting point guard for the Kings. Don't be surprised if he finished the season with career highs nearly across the board.

Collison played with a determined demeanor on Sunday and while he didn't perform exceptionally well, he was still able to put up good enough numbers to win the game. He finished with 14 points, five rebounds, four assists, and one block in a team high 39 minutes.

Collision appears to be in no trouble of losing minutes to backup Ramon Sessions who, after playing bigger minutes in the preseason, has yet to top 10 minutes in the first three games of the season. Collision has been playing well during this stretch as well, averaging 15 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes.

Collison came off the bench behind Ramon Sessions on Wednesday, scoring 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-6 3P, 2-4 FT) with six assists and three rebounds in 25 minutes.

He badly outplayed Sessions on Wednesday, and if that disparity continues through the preseason it's hard to imagine Collison coming off the bench once the regular season tips off.

Mike Malone confirmed that Darren Collison will start at point guard on Opening Night.

This isn't surprising but it's the first we've seen that Collison is indeed the man. Ray McCallum is going to push Collison right from the jump but there are a lot of people in the front office that want Collison to look good and he'll likely start off at 30 mpg. From there, if McCallum can unseat Collison it won't take very much to allow a changing of the guard. In any event, Collison profiles as a late round pick at best right now.

Darren Collison signs three-year, $16 million deal for the mid-level exception with the Kings.

This deal has been roundly criticized around the league because it highlighted the front office's curious lack of appreciation for previous starter Isaiah Thomas, who is much better than Collison in just about every facet of the game. The controversy has also been fueled by the team pinning its overall problems with passing and defense onto Thomas, particularly when he shouldered so much load last year and was their best community guy -- while the city struggled to convince locals to finance a new arena that ultimately kept the team in town. Collison has said that the Kings are going to give him the keys to the team, so we expect him to start, but Ray McCallum could push him for playing time.
