Collins goes down, sprains right knee

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Two days less than two years after he suffered a severe injury to his anterior and medial collateral ligaments, Jazz third-year pro center Jarron Collins sprained the same right knee when he was bumped accidentally by teammate Kirk Snyder at 8:51 of the third quarter Friday night in the Delta Center in a game against Portland.</div>

So he won't be missing any games? Good news..... Okur still has to start over him though, heh

 

Actually the Jazz have activated Borchardt and placed Collins on the IR. It seems that the injury bug has just hit the Jazz, whose next?

 

Borchardt gives Utah the shot blocking presence they've lacked in recent games (without Kirilenko of course). It will be harder for opposing guards to just drive to the hole with Borchardt there. Other than that, Collins has an edge in most other things. However they're wont be too much difference as they have limited roles anyway.

 

When Borchardt is healthy, he is our second best center, behind Okur. He is a better than average shot blocker, he is a decent rebounder, and has a good inside/mid-range game. If he stays healthy he should help us more than Collins. But thats a big IF.
