Report: Bulls, Zach Collins agree to 2-year pact

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Player Stats

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Bulls and Zach Collins have agreed to a two-year extension worth $17 million.

Due to injuries, Collins appeared in just ten games last season before undergoing season-ending toe surgery just after the All-Star break. Unfortunately, while there have been flashes of the potential that led to him being the 10th overall pick in the 2017 draft, injuries have been a significant issue for the 6-foot-11 forward/center. Since the 2018-19 season, Collins surpassed 65 games played just once in the next seven seasons. Collins’ decision to remain in Chicago gives the Bulls added depth in the frontcourt, but his injury history makes him challenging to rely on in fantasy basketball.

Zach Collins (toe) will have season-ending surgery.

Collins had been dealing with a right toe sprain. After undergoing further evaluation, he will have surgery and miss the rest of the season. Jalen Smith and Nick Richards will handle the center duties in Chicago for the rest of the year.
Nick Richards

CHI Center #2

Bucks have traded Nick Richards to the Bulls in exchange for Ousmane Dieng.

Richards was rerouted from Milwaukee after initially being traded from Phoenix. The initial trade was expanded to include Dieng, with the first deal sending Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis to the Bucks for Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey. Chicago traded Nikola Vucevic already, so Richards will be in the center rotation alongside Jalen Smith and Zach Collins. Smith should start, but he may not be the coveted option for the rest of the season that managers were hoping he would be if Richards takes away some of his minutes.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (toe) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Collins has been out since late December, and a return to action does not appear to be on the horizon. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Wednesday that the 6-foot-11 forward/center is still in a walking boot and he’ll be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Bulls will continue to rely on Nikola Vučević and Jalen Smith, with the latter having recently moved into the starting lineup.

Zach Collins (toe) will remain in a walking boot for the foreseeable future as the team seeks more opinions on the severity of his injury.

Collins has been out since late December with a sprained left big toe. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Saturday that the 6-foot-11 forward/center suffered a “pretty significant sprain” and will remain in a walking boot for the foreseeable future. Surgery isn’t currently on the table, but the team has been seeking additional opinions on Collins’ injury. Chicago will continue to rely on Jalen Smith to absorb most of the backup center minutes.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

According to the Chicago Bulls’ official X.com account, Zach Collins (toe) will be re-evaluated in 10 days.

Collins’ absence means Jalen Smith should operate as the primary backup center behind Nikola Vučević. Even with an increased role, Smith is unlikely to be productive enough to warrant consideration outside of deeper fantasy leagues.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (toe) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Collins was diagnosed with a sprained left big toe ahead of Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, and the Bulls have not provided a return timeline. Jalen Smith will figure more prominently in the Bulls’ rotation, but he’s unlikely to reach the point where he should be rostered in most fantasy leagues since Nikola Vučević is healthy.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (toe) has no timeline for return.

Collins was ruled out for Monday’s game with a sore left big toe, but he has since been diagnosed with a sprain. According to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, the 6-foot-11 forward/center is not likely to play this week. Look for Jalen Smith to pick up a few more minutes, sometimes playing alongside starting center Nikola Vučević.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (toe) is out for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Collins is dealing with soreness in his left big toe and will not play against the Timberwolves. That leaves Jalen Smith to handle the available minutes behind starter Nikola Vučević, but he’s only worthy of consideration in deep leagues.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (wrist) is available for Friday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Collins was initially probable for Friday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. With Jalen Smith also in the Bulls’ rotation, neither is likely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (wrist) is probable for Friday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Collins most recently played 16 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers. The probable tag suggests he will play on Friday, but his playing time will be limited with Nikola Vučević in the starting lineup.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Utah is signing Josh Okogie for the 2026-27 season.

The veteran team will join his fifth NBA team after agreeing to a deal with the Jazz. Okogie, known for his defensive versatility, spent last season with the Rockets, where he averaged 4.5 points across 78 regular-season games. He’s unlikely to see significant enough playing time to produce at a level that is valuable for fantasy basketball next season.

Hoopshype’s Michael Scotto reports that Andre Drummond has agreed to a deal with the Knicks.

Drummond’s reported deal will be an important one for the Knicks as they look to fill the void at backup center. Drummond has played 14 seasons in the NBA, serving various roles. He’ll essentially replace Mitchell Robinson, who agreed to a deal with the Celtics, to help New York in its title defense. Drummond averaged 6.4 points and 8.4 rebounds last season with the 76ers.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jordan Miller has signed a three-year, $15.3 million deal with the Clippers.

Miller entered restricted free agency this summer but opted to return to the Clippers for another three seasons. They selected him with the 48th pick in 2023, and after playing sparingly through his first two seasons, he took on a much larger role for the Clippers over the final three months of last year. With Keaton Wagler, Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick now in town, Miller’s role may look smaller than it did down the stretch of last season.

Trey Lyles has agreed to a one-year deal with the Timberwolves.

Lyles signed with Real Madrid last September after a decade in the NBA, with the last four seasons in Sacramento. The veteran big will provide some depth at the power forward and center positions, and he’s a capable floor spacer, which may help make up for Naz Reid’s departure. However, it is unlikely he is anywhere near as productive as Reid was.

Love was an older rookie for the Trail Blazers last season after going undrafted. However, he was productive for a few months early last season, though his availability was limited over the final two months of the year. Still, he’s a talented scorer, making this a nice swing for the 76ers, even if he’ll have plenty of competition for minutes and shots.

Jaden Hardy has been traded to the Lakers.

The Lakers will received Hardy and two future second-rounders in exchange for Deandre Ayton. The former second-round pick was sent to Washington as part of the Anthony Davis trade last season after spending the first few years of his career in Dallas. He can provide instant offense at times, but he likely won’t be a big part of the Lakers’ rotation next season.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Lakers have traded Deandre Ayton to the Wizards in exchange for Jaden Hardy and two second-round picks.

The second-round picks are in 2031 and 2032. The Lakers recently acquired Walker Kessler to be the team’s starting center, and they’ll offload Ayton just a few days after he picked up his player option for next season. He’ll now likely be the backup center behind Alex Sarr, which eliminates most of the fantasy value that he had this past season. However, he should be one of the better backup bigs in the league and has streaming upside if the Wizards face an injury in the frontcourt to either Sarr or Anthony Davis.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Rockets are trading Dorian Finney-Smith and three second-round picks to the Hornets.

For Houston, this move was all about creating financial flexibility. Charlotte adds a veteran forward that can still play a solid role off the bench if needed, but they also added three more second-round picks, pushing their total to 20 over the next seven years. That gives them plenty of ammo to make moves in the future, while DFS will make an impact in the locker room immediately.
