John Collins averaged 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.0 block over 54 games this season.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks were missing John Collins and Lou Williams for their NBA Play-In game Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets.

Collins hasn’t played since March 11 because of a right ring finger sprain and a sprained right foot. He has resumed 4-on-4 workouts but is still not ready for game action.

Williams was out because of lower back discomfort.

Gordon Hayward remained sidelined for the Hornets with a sore left foot. He has played only one game, for less than 17 minutes, since Feb. 7.
