The Los Angeles Clippers anticipate that John Collins will remain out of action for the rest of the week while recovering from a neck strain, according to Mark Medina.

Collins has not played since March 1 and was absent for his fifth consecutive game on Monday.

Medina notes that the veteran forward has participated in some light on-court activity as he works toward a return. The 28-year-old is also set to enter free agency during the upcoming offseason.

Indiana will also be shorthanded for Tuesday’s contest against Sacramento.

The Pacers announced that All-Star forward Pascal Siakam will sit out with a right knee sprain, while reserve guard T.J. McConnell will miss the matchup because of right hamstring soreness.

In addition, starting point guard Andrew Nembhard is considered doubtful to play as he continues to manage discomfort in his lower back and neck.

Phoenix may regain some backcourt depth soon, as guard Jordan Goodwin has been listed as questionable for Tuesday’s road game in Milwaukee, Gerald Bourguet of Suns After Dark reports.

Goodwin, known for his defensive intensity and rebounding from the guard spot, has been sidelined for seven straight games due to a left calf strain.

Teammate Grayson Allen is also considered questionable as he undergoes injury management for a right knee issue.
