What happened to John Collins? Live injury updates for Wizards vs. Clippers on Wednesday 1/14/26

LA Clippers NBA

UPDATE: John Collins has been ruled out. Kobe Sanders will start in his place.

John Collins was a late addition to LA’s injury report ahead of Wednesday night’s matchup with the Washington Wizards, as he was downgraded to questionable an hour before tip-off with a groin injury.

There’s been no mention of when or how the injury occurred.

Nicolas Batum will likely make his fourth start of the season, but he’s not fantasy relevant. His usage rate is sub-10% on the season, and he’s averaging just 4.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 1.5 treys in 20.6 minutes per game.

The Clippers are currently listed as 12.5-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook, while the Wizards sit at +400 on the moneyline.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
