Typically participating in shootaround is a sign that a player will suit up, but Collins will practice with the Windy City Bulls later on Wednesday, which may indicate that he won’t play against the Nets. He said if that goes well, he will play “very soon”, which indicates he could make his season debut on Friday against the Pacers. For now, Jalen Smith (hamstring) will occupy the reserve center minutes if he plays, with Lachlan Olbrich backing him up.

Collins could potentially make his first appearance of the season for the Bulls, and the timing would be great for a team with a loaded injury report. If available, the veteran center may be asked to take on some of the minutes that would typically go to Jalen Smith. Smith has missed the last two games with a strained hamstring but is considered questionable for Wednesday.

Collins has yet to make his first appearance of the regular season after suffering a fractured left wrist during the preseason. According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the 6-foot-11 center will likely get in a few practices with the team’s G League affiliate. If all goes well, Collins could be available to play by the end of the week. His return impacts Jalen Smith more than any other Bulls, as he has served as Nikola Vučević’s backup.

Collins hasn’t yet made his 2025-26 debut, and that won’t change against Orlando. Terry will miss a fifth straight game. Neither absence will have any meaningful impact on Chicago’s rotation.

Collins fractured his left wrist during the preseason and has yet to make his season debut. That isn’t expected to change against Orlando, but the status upgrade is a step in the right direction. When he returns, he’ll split the backup center minutes with Jalen Smith.

Collins suffered a non-displaced scaphoid fracture in his left wrist during the preseason. He’ll miss at least four weeks with the injury, leaving Jalen Smith to serve as Nikola Vučević’s primary backup. Unless the Bulls were to lose Vooch to injury, there’s no need to consider rostering Smith.

Collins provided his third double-double in seven starts with Chicago, getting it going from downtown and crashing the glass with authority. Collins fouled out of Thursday’s win over Orlando after just 12 minutes, so this was a great bounce back effort. He’ll continue to shine for as long as Nikola Vucevic is sidelined.

Since stepping in for the injured Nikola Vucevic, Collins has been on a roll. He has averaged 18.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in his five starts. That production has been good for top-25 value in eight-cat formats. Vucevic could return by the end of Week 18, with the Bulls playing games against the Magic and Heat. However, managers who still have Collins rostered should hold onto him.

Collins started again with Nikola Vucevic out for the third straight game. The 27-year-old center had a double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Collins also dished out five assists. He’s certainly under streaming consideration whenever Vooch is out for the rest of the season.

Once again starting for the injured Nikola Vucevic, Collins recorded a stellar stat line on Wednesday. The Bulls center recorded his first double-double of the season, establishing new highs in points (21) and rebounds (17). The 17 boards were a career-high for Collins, who has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks. As long as Vucevic and Jalen Smith (concussion) remain out, Collins will be worth streaming in deep leagues. And he’s rostered in just five percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Collins and Huerter are available after initially being probable for Wednesday’s game. The former will continue to serve as the starting center with Nikola Vucevic (calf) out of the lineup. As for Huerter, he will figure prominently off the bench, and he’s worth having in deep leagues where there is a need for three-point production.
