John Collins (shoulder) won't play Saturday for Atlanta
Atlanta Hawks forward/center John Collins will not play in Saturday's game, according to Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
What It Means:
The 20-year-old rookie left Thursday's game with an apparent left shoulder injury. He did not return and was seen leaving the arena with his left arm in a sling. He won't be traveling with the team, so that means he's out for at least one game, if not more. Also absent Dewayne Dedmon (leg), the Hawks will deploy a combination of Luke Babbitt, Ersan Ilyasova, Tyler Cavanaugh and Miles Plumlee down low.
Prior to being ruled out, Collins was projected for 25.8 FanDuel points and 25.2 minutes on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. His next opportunity will come in a home game against those same Nets Monday night.
