Collins has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Pelicans with a back injury, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports. He'll finish the game with two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds across three minutes.
The big man replaced Victor Wembanyama (back) after the latter left for the locker room early in the first quarter, though Collins contested a shot and fell hard on his back just three minutes into his appearance. With Wembanyama questionable to return and Collins already ruled out, Charles Bassey is the next man up at center for San Antonio.
