Nate McMillan said that John Collins remains at the point of doing some light running and shooting just as he was a couple of days ago. No setbacks. – 6:26 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Entering tonight, Wizards are 5-2 in their last 7 games.
Nate McMillan: “They’re playing with a lot of ball movement. They’re playing fast. They have a few guys that are out, but w Porzingis being in that lineup, they’re playing faster… Those guys are shooting the lights out.” – 6:26 PM

John Collins is still at the same level of jogging/shooting, per Nate McMillan.
No setbacks, which is good, but still at that same level of activity as a few days ago. – 6:20 PM

If the Hawks & Nets win tonight it’s looking like Sunday’s Wizards game could be worth resting the starters. Charlotte will play 4 in 5 nights assuming the play in is on Tuesday, extra day of rest would seem wise if there’s no advantage for seeding to be gained – 4:16 PM
