Collins will be out for Game 2 against the Lakers on Thursday night, and is not likely to make a return until at least Game 5 of the series. Wenyen Gabriel will start once again in his place. Gabriel shot 2/2 from the field with 3 rebounds and 3 assists, in just 16 minutes of work on the court for the Blazers in Game 1.
