Will miss two-game road trip
Collins (neck) won't travel with the Clippers for their upcoming two-game road trip, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analyse
This news means that Collins will miss Friday's game in San Antonio and Saturday's game in Memphis, and while he'll be re-evaluated when the team returns to Los Angeles, his timetable remains unclear. Managers currently fighting through the playoffs may need to consider dropping Collins, who will miss all four of the Clippers' games during Week 19.

Remaining out for Wednesday
Collins (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Analyse
Collins will miss his second straight game due to a neck injury that he suffered during Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans. Kobe Sanders drew the start in Collins' stead Monday and will be a candidate to do so again Wednesday.

Out Monday with neck injury
Collins won't play in Monday's game against the Warriors due to neck soreness, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Analyse
Collins appeared to injure his right arm late in Sunday's 137-117 win over the Pelicans, but his exit was apparently the result of a sore neck, which had kept him out for the Clippers' previous two contests. The severity of the latest recurrence of the neck issue isn't yet known, but Collins will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. Darius Garland (toe) is set to make his Clippers debut Monday and could end up absorbing most of Collins' minutes while sliding into the starting lineup.

Exits early Sunday
Collins left Sunday's 137-117 win over the Pelicans with 4:56 remaining in the fourth quarter and didn't return due to an apparent right arm injury, NBA writer Justin Russo reports. He finished the contest with 15 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist in 24 minutes.
Analyse
Back in action after missing the previous two games due to a head laceration and sore neck, Collins left Sunday's contest after he appeared to collide with a Pelicans player. The Clippers didn't provide any information on the nature or severity of his injury, so an update on Collins' status may not be available until the team releases its next injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors. If Collins ends up being sidelined for the second leg of the back-to-back set, the Clippers could simply distribute most of his minutes to Darius Garland (toe), who is slated to make his team debut Monday.

Cleared to play Sunday
Collins (head/neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Analyse
Collins will shake off his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a head laceration and neck soreness. Over nine February appearances, the forward averaged 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders.

Could return Sunday
Collins (head/neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Collins has missed the Clippers' last two games due to a head laceration and neck soreness, but the veteran forward has a chance to make his return for the front end of the team's back-to-back set Sunday. Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller would continue to operate in elevated roles if one or both of Collins and Kawhi Leonard (ankle/illness) are unable to play. Collins averaged 15.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 threes over 29.3 minutes per game in February.
