Fri Mar 2220:01Zach Collins To Play On Friday
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.

Thu Mar 2122:08Zach Collins Questionable Friday Against The Grizzlies
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.

Tue Mar 1916:02Zach Collins Out With Concussion
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.

Fri Feb 217:54Zach Collins To Return Versus The Pelicans
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.

Mon Jan 2919:19Zach Collins Will Sit Out Again On Monday
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.

Mon Jan 2910:23Zach Collins Questionable For Monday
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.

Dominick Barlow has a chance to play a bigger role without Collins, but he's not someone fantasy managers should consider adding.

Sat Jan 2715:34Zach Collins Questionable Against Minnesota
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.

Mon Jan 2206:50Zach Collins Questionable Monday
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.

Sat Jan 2017:16Zach Collins Now Probable Versus Washington

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.

Sat Jan 2009:23Zach Collins Will Be Rested Saturday
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.

Fri Jan 1917:57Zach Collins Will Return On Friday Evening
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.

Fri Jan 1913:18Zach Collins Trending In Right Direction For Friday
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.

Mon Jan 116:09Zach Collins Sidelined Multiple Weeks With Ankle Sprain
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.

Sun Dec 31 202315:22Zach Collins Out On Sunday With An Ankle Injury
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Boston. With Victor Wembanyama resting on Friday night against the Spurs, Collins got more work. He scored 17 points in that one. Unfortunately, Collins only lasted 18 minutes before exiting with a sprained right ankle. The Spurs also could be without Keldon Johnson (back), who's questionable because of back spasms. If Johnson doesn't suit up versus the Celtics, Cedi Osman and Doug McDermott could see enough work to warrant attention from managers in deeper fantasy setups.

Sun Dec 17 202314:03Zach Collins Expected To Face The Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 26-year-old is plagued by left knee soreness. However, it likely won't be enough to cause Collins to miss his first game of the 2023-24 campaign. He is having the best season of his career, averaging 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. Collins has also stayed healthy, which has been an issue throughout his career. Although he has struggled from behind the arc, which is not ideal for category managers, he should remain active in all fantasy starting lineups.

Tue Dec 5 202318:27Zach Collins, Devin Vassell Likely To Suit Up Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (thumb) and forward Devin Vassell (knee) are both listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Neither player missed last Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with their respective injuries, so their designations on San Antonio's injury report come off as mere formalities after five days off. Collins is struggling with turnovers (2.8 per game) alongside the ultra-talented Victor Wembanyama in the Spurs frontcourt, but he's still averaging a solid 13.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 treys in 29.2 minutes over 19 games ahead of a tough draw against Minnesota's vaunted frontcourt. Vassell is still working to get back into head coach Gregg Popovich's starting five after missing five games earlier in the year with an adductor strain, averaging an efficient 20.0 points, 3.2 threes, and 1.0 swipes in 26.8 minutes over his last five appearances from the bench.

Wed Oct 25 202300:24Zach Collins Under The Weather
San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the visiting Mavericks. The 25-year-old, who recently agreed to a two-year extension with the team on Monday, is battling a non-COVID-related illness, which could force him to miss the opener. If that's the case, 2023 No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama will likely take over in the middle, with Cedi Osman a favorite to enter the starting lineup. Osman averaged only 8.7 points with the Cavaliers in 2022-23. But he logged 11.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in two starts, so there is a value opportunity for DFS participants. At the same time, Osman has streaming appeal in deep season-long formats if he rolls with the first five on Wednesday.

Mon Oct 23 202312:54Zach Collins Signs Extension With Spurs
San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins reportedly agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $35 million, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The former 10th overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft was reported to be a starter for this team despite them drafting Victor Wembanyama, and this extension is further evidence that they believe in Collins' potential. Collins appeared in 63 games last season and started in 26 of them. The 25-year-old posted averages of 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 22.9 minutes per game. He could be a good fantasy asset in deeper leagues since his upside is limited alongside Wembanyama, but he should be a good source of boards and some defensive stats.

Sat Jun 17 202312:34Spurs View Zach Collins As A Starter
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com, the Spurs will search for a center this offseason. With San Antonio holding the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and expected to select Victor Wembanyama, the team is concerned about the punishment he'll endure as a rookie against opposing big men. However, the Spurs view Zach Collins (finger) as a starting option, so he may continue to spend time in the middle. The 25-year-old, who recently underwent surgery to address an infection in his finger, averaged 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 63 games last season. Collins could return for another year, considering the Spurs have a team option. But if he stays, he may be more productive for fantasy managers than initially anticipated.
