Zach Collins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to ESPN's Michael C. Wright, San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (shoulder) will not play in the team's preseason game against the Magic on Wednesday. Despite not suiting up in the preseason, the 26-year-old has been participating in 5-on-5 drills during training camp after having shoulder surgery in April. Last season, Collins averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 0.8 blocks in 69 regular season contests. Saturday, he has another chance to make his preseason debut against Utah.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (shoulder) was cleared to participate in all basketball activities. Even better, he's anticipated to be ready for the Spurs opener in Dallas on October 24. The 26-year-old is a pivotal piece of the rotation and most recently averaged 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 2023-24. However, he tore his labrum in April, resulting in surgery. As expected, Victor Wembanyama should see more minutes this season, likely meaning less work for Collins. Yet, the veteran will likely get more than a handful of starts in the 2024-25 campaign, so he should gain streaming attention.

According to NBA insider Michael Scotto, San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (shoulder) will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Collins is no stranger to surgical procedures. However, it's a tough blow, considering the 26-year-old has appeared in at least 63 games in each of the last two seasons. Fortunately, he's expected to be ready to go for the 2024-25 campaign. Collins remained productive last season despite the arrival of Victor Wembanyama, averaging 11.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. He should continue to hold a spot in the rotation and get some starts when the new season begins in October, so he should have value for those in deeper fantasy formats.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Collins will make his return to the court after a one-game absence due to a concussion. His return will likely push Dominick Barlow out of the rotation. Collins will fill out the backup center minutes behind Victor Wembanyama. Lately, Collins has only been playing minutes in the teens which has limited his fantasy value. He could be a possible deep league option but there are probably more reliable options available.

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center Zach Collins (concussion) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Collins missed San Antonio's previous game against the Dallas Mavericks due to being in the concussion protocol. There is some optimism since Collins was at practice on Thursday with the rest of the team. However, the concussion protocol can't be rushed or expected to have a clear timetable. Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie will have the best chances of improving their stats if Collins is out. Bench minutes should open up for Dominick Barlow and Cedi Osman as well, on a roster with minimal depth.
