Collins appears briefly in return: After missing the previous 21 games with a sprained left elbow, Hawks center Jason Collins was back on the floor for Sunday’s game against the Cavs. Collins entered the game with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and played out the end of the game, failing to accumulate any stats as the Hawks won, 103-87.

Fantasy Analysis
Collins is just a back up center even when healthy, and with the recent strong play of Zaza Pachulia, he will likely continue to find playing time hard to come by even if his elbow is healed. At this point, he is unlikely to play any sort of role for the Hawks, so even though he is back to playing, Fantasy owners should continue to ignore him in all formats. (Updated 03/18/2012).
