Hawks' John Collins (ankle) sidelined at least 10 days

Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins (left ankle soreness) underwent a non-surgical procedure on October 8 and will be re-evaluated on October 22.

What It Means:

Collins suffered the injury at the beginning of the month and also missed a couple games in March last season due to a sore left ankle. An MRI taken on October 2 revealed mild inflammation and soreness, and it'll cost him at least the first three games of the upcoming campaign. The Hawks will likely take a conservative approach with the young big man.

numberFire's models currently project Collins to average 14.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 0.8 3-pointers per game this season.
