John Collins reportedly aiming for on-court return this week

The Atlanta Hawks have been without rookie big man John Collins for 10 days and, in short, his absence has been felt. However, the impressive youngster appears to be slightly ahead of schedule after an initial projected timeline of two-to-three weeks on the shelf.

John Collins (shoulder) says chance he could play Wed. at CLE. If not then, looks 'really good' for return Thurs. vs. DET. Injured 11/30.

Michael Cunningham of the AJC brings word that Collins could take the floor as early as Tuesday in Cleveland, with a potentially more realistic target of a home game against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday evening.
