John Collins (ankle) may be able to return for Hawks on Friday
The Atlanta Hawks are hopeful power forward John Collins (ankle) will be able to return on Friday against the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Collins, who suffered the injury on Saturday, has already been ruled out for Tuesday against the Utah Jazz and isn't expected to play on Thursday versus the Sacramento Kings. However, the Hawks don't seem concerned. "We hope to have him back Friday. It's just a standard sprained ankle. The swelling was down Sunday morning," said general manager Travis Schlenk. "We got fortunate. It's not a big deal, but he'll probably have to miss a couple of games." Dewayne Dedmon and Mike Muscala should benefit while Collins is sidelined.
Collins is averaging 24.5 FanDuel points per game this season.
