What happened to John Collins? Live injury updates for Clippers vs. Pelicans on Sunday 3/1/26

LA Clippers NBA

With 4:56 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, John Collins was replaced by Nicolas Batum. Collins collided with Derik Queen and is now in the locker room.

Prior to exiting, Collins contributed 15 points, seven rebounds, an assist and two steals in 25 minutes of action.

Batum and Kobe Sanders would likely be the biggest beneficiaries if Collins misses time.

The Clippers play the second leg of a back-to-back tomorrow, then have games on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday to close out the week.

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.
