  7D ago • By RotoWire

  The Jazz announced Friday that Collins underwent an MRI which confirmed a left lateral ankle sprain, and he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Collins suffered his ankle injury during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies and had already been ruled out Friday. With the 27-year-old big man now set to miss an extended period, KJ Martin, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  Collins is out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to a left ankle sprain.

It remains to be seen if he'll be avaliable for the upcoming back-to-back set against the Timberwolves and Bulls on Sunday and Monday, respectively.

• Jazz's John Collins: Carries Utah on offense

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Collins provided 28 points (12-30 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-108 loss to Boston. The Jazz turned out to be more competitive than expected in this tight loss to Boston, and Collins had a strong showing as a scoring weapon even if he needed 30 shots to score 28 points. The veteran forward, who was returning to the lineup following a five-game absence due to a back injury, should be one of Utah's go-to players on offense going forward, although given the Jazz's recent resting patterns, it's unclear if he'll be available regularly. It wouldn't be surprising if he sits Wednesday's game against Memphis due to injury management.

While Collins is in danger of missing a sixth straight game, his questionable tag is a sign of progress, as he's previously been deemed doubtful or ruled out on Utah's initial injury reports. KJ Martin has been starting at power forward in Collins' absence.
