Chicago Bulls power forward Zach Collins will miss the rest of the season after requiring surgery on his right big toe. Guard Jaden Ivey is also dealing with knee soreness and won't be re-evaluated for two weeks.
The Chicago Bulls announced Saturday that power forward Zach Collins will need surgery on his right big toe, ending his season early.
Meanwhile, guard Jaden Ivey is experiencing soreness in his left knee and team doctors will reassess his condition in two weeks.
The 28-year-old Collins has been coming off the bench this season, putting up 9.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game across 10 appearances.
Throughout his professional career spanning 388 games with Portland, San Antonio, and Chicago, Collins has posted averages of 8.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. He started 83 of those contests.
Sacramento originally drafted the Gonzaga product as the 10th selection in 2017 before immediately dealing him to Portland on draft night.
Ivey, who celebrated his 24th birthday on February 13th, has put together averages of 11.5 points and 4.8 rebounds across four appearances for Chicago since his recent trade from Detroit. He has started three of those games.
The Pistons selected Ivey fifth overall in the 2022 draft. His career has been hampered by injuries, including a fractured leg that cost him substantial playing time last season and a knee problem that sidelined him earlier this year.
