Hawks forward John Collins out with foot and finger injuries

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins received second opinions yesterday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, which confirmed the original diagnoses and treatment plans for a right foot strain, including a plantar fascia tear, as well as a right ring finger sprain.

Dr. Michelle Carlson of HSS administered an anti-inflammatory shot in his finger yesterday and he was fitted with custom splints, which he will wear for the remainder of the season.

Over the next few days, Collins will undergo a non-surgical procedure on his right foot at the Emory Sports Medicine Complex.

His status will be updated in 10-14 days.
