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.

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.
