Sources: John Collins to Miss ‘several more weeks’

The Hawks will be without John Collins for Wednesday’s home opener and beyond as the power forward deals with an ankle injury. Collins will miss several more weeks with a return date that is likely in early November, according to a person familiar with the situation. He would miss nine more games with a return likely in the second week of November.

Collins has not yet returned to on-court activity and will need to work his way back into playing shape before a return is possible.
