John Collins PF | LAC
Clippers' John Collins: Slated to miss one week
Collins resumed taking part in on-court work Monday but is expected to miss the next week of action while he recovers from a neck strain, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Collins is trending in the right direction, but he doesn't look like he'll be ready to play at any point during the Clippers' upcoming four-game week. The veteran big man has been out since exiting a March 1 game against the Warriors due to lingering neck soreness, which has now been classified as a strain. Kobe Sanders could continue to remain a regular part of the LA rotation for the duration of Collins' absence.

T.J. McConnell PG | IND
Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Ruled out for Tuesday
McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
The veteran point guard exited Sunday's loss to Portland in the fourth quarter due to right hamstring soreness and will miss Tuesday's contest with the same issue. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Phoenix. With McConnell out and Andrew Nembhard (neck/back) doubtful to play, Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are all in line to see increased playing time.

Jarace Walker PF | IND
Pacers' Jarace Walker: Probable for Tuesday
Walker is probable for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a right ankle sprain and mid-back soreness.
Walker tallied 14 points during Sunday's matchup against Portand but evidently emerged from the game a bit banged up. Even so, he appears on track to play Tuesday in Sacramento.

Liam McNeeley SF | CHA
Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Won't play Tuesday
McNeeley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Portland.
McNeeley, who was recalled from the G League on Monday, will be unavailable for Tuesday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. The rookie's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Sacramento in the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back, though playing time isn't guaranteed even when he's healthy.

Andrew Nembhard PG | IND
Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Nembhard is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to lower back and neck soreness.
Nembhard was cleared to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Blazers, but he's on track to get a rest day Tuesday evening. Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson would be in line for a start at point guard, assuming Nembhard is downgraded to out closer to tipoff.
