Portland's Zach Collins (shoulder) will require surgery
Portland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins will have surgery to repair his dislocated left shoulder.
What It Means:
Collins dislocated his shoulder on October 27th while playing against the Dallas Mavericks. Collins got an MRI on Monday and missed Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and now the results of testing have indicated that he will require surgery. He will likely be out for an extended period of time. Look for Skal Labissiere and Anthony Tolliver to take on larger roles in his absence.
Collins averaged 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 blocks, 1.0 triples, and 16.8 FanDuel points over three games.
