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

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. The veteran was initially labeled as questionable because of a knee contusion. Unfortunately, he was downgraded to out. The Jazz will be down some size versus Nikola Jokic, with Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (leg) already ruled out. As a result, Walker Kessler could see more work than usual. Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh should also get more scoring chances.

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Denver Nuggets due to a knee contusion. With Lauri Markkanen(personal) andKyle Filipowski(leg) already ruled out, the Jazz could be quite shorthanded if the 27-year-old can't play. However, if he can give it a go, Collins could have significant fantasy value as he will be relied upon heavily with Markkanen sidelined.

According to Evan Sidery of The Sporting News and Forbes, the Utah Jazz are anticipated to "shop" forward/center John Collins this offseason. Collins has two years left on his current deal, which will pay him nearly $27 million per season and includes a player option. The 26-year-old played 68 games for Utah in 2023-24 after spending six years with the Hawks. Unfortunately, he averaged only 15.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists, considerably lower than his best season in 2019-20. At any rate, there's a chance teams around the league will be interested in acquiring him. However, it appears Collins is past his prime, although he could play better with a new team during the 2024-25 campaign than in the last few seasons.
