Zach Collins (quad) cleared for full contact

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Player Stats

Zach Collins (quad) has been cleared for full contact.

Collins, who underwent season-ending toe surgery in February, did not play in any of the Bulls’ preseason games because of a quad injury. However, he has progressed in his recovery and is expected to be available for Wednesday’s season opener against the Raptors. With Nic Claxton (hamstring) still limited in practice, Collins should play rotation minutes. However, given the time missed, his minutes will likely be limited, meaning more playing time for expected starter Jalen Smith.

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Zach Collins (illness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Due to a respiratory illness, Collins did not play in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers. His availability does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Nic Claxton back from a strained hamstring.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) recorded four points (2-of-3 FGs), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers.

Injured early in the preseason, Claxton was limited to 16-20 minutes in his Bulls debut on Sunday. He played 18 minutes and recorded a few rebounds, assists and blocks. Claxton came off the bench, with Jalen Smith (17/8/2, four blocks and two three-pointers) remaining in the starting lineup. The roles will reverse eventually, but not until Claxton’s minutes restriction is lifted.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (finger) is available for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Smith was initially probable, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll remain in the starting lineup, with Nic Claxton (hamstring) limited to 16-20 minutes in his Bulls debut.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) is available for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Claxton is available to make his season debut after a preseason hamstring strain. He’ll come off the bench on Sunday, and the Bulls will limit him to 16-20 minutes. Jalen Smith remains the starter for now, but his fantasy value will take a hit once that changes.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (finger) is probable for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Smith is probable with a finger injury while Nic Claxton (hamstring) is questionable. If Claxton is out, Smith could return as the starting center once again.
Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (illness) is out for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Collins will miss Sunday’s game with a respiratory illness. His absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, as the veteran center has played limited rotation minutes.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Claxton was also questionable ahead of Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, but was ruled out. If he can’t play on Sunday, the Bulls will stick with Jalen Smith as their starting center. Smith may get a few more starts regardless of Claxton’s status, but his value will undoubtedly take a hit once the Bulls get their expected starter back.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (hand) will not return against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Jalen Smith sustained the injury after a hard fall. Once Nicolas Claxton returns, he will be the presumed starter. Until then, look for Zach Collins to take the majority of the minutes that Jalen Smith had.
Nic Claxton

CHI Center #9

Nic Claxton (hamstring) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Claxton will miss Wednesday’s game against the Knicks with a left hamstring strain. Jalen Smith (finger) is available to play and should start with Claxton sidelined.
Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (finger) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

With Nic Claxton (hamstring) out for another game, Smith will continue to start at center for the Bulls.
