Knicks at Clippers: Money on the Floor, March 9, 2026
Collins participated in on-court activities Monday but isn't expected to be available during a busy week for the Clippers that includes three games in four days beginning Wednesday. The power forward hasn't played since departing early March 1 against the Warriors due to lingering neck soreness, which has now been classified as a strain. Kobe Sanders figures to see increased opportunities during Collins' continued absence. Based on the one-week absence timeline, the veteran could return to action March 16 against the Spurs, though an update on the likelihood of that return will likely come closer to that contest.
This is a devastating blow for Beal and the Clippers. The official diagnosis is a fractured left hip, and an exact timetable has yet to be announced. Beal signed a two-year, $11 million deal with the Clippers prior to the season, and the second year of his deal includes a player option which he may be likely to pick up with this news. With Beal out for the season, the Clippers could lean pretty heavily on Kris Dunn. Guys like Bogdan Bogdanovic and Chris Paul could reemerge too, but they've been afterthoughts in the rotation for the most part.
This is a tough blow for Niederhauser, who suffered the injury during Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers. It's still too early to talk about whether the big man will be available for the start of next season, though the team could provide an estimate following the procedure.
