John Collins Cleared for Return; Will Come Off Bench Against Kings

John Collins (neck) is active for Saturday's game against the Kings, ending a seven-game absence. While cleared to play, he will come off the bench for the first time since November 8 and may operate under a minutes restriction. His return to the rotation is expected to reduce playing time for teammates Kobe Sanders, Isaiah Jackson, and Derrick Jones, who will start in his place. Collins looks to reintegrate into the Clippers' lineup as they face Sacramento.
