Jason Collins (left elbow sprain) will miss at least two weeks, the Hawks announced on Saturday. This is a tough loss for a Hawks team already without Al Hoford. Zaza Pachulia will get all the playing time he can handle, while unheralded and undersized Ivan Johnson continues to prove his worth in a bench role.

Feb 4, 11:07AM
Charlie Villanueva's sore ankle will be 'partially immobilized' for the next few weeks, after which he will be re-evaluated. After multiple tests and doctor visits, it has been determined that Villanueva has "resolving posterior tibial tenosynovitis with small talotibal spurs." It doesn't take a medical degree to determine that CV isn't anywhere close to being healthy, let alone productive.

Feb 4, 10:40AM
As expected, the Rockets assigned rookie Marcus Morris to the D-League on Friday. Morris hasn't practiced much due to a sprained ankle that was bothering him, but he's ready to play now. The Rockets are headed out on a long road trip and Kevin McHale said "Marcus is going down to the D-League to get some good, much-needed running, playing up and down, then he'll come up after that."

Feb 4, 10:34AM
Knicks writer Marc Berman reports that Mike D'Antoni "will not be fired [on Saturday] ... disputing a report earlier this week." Berman writes that "D'Antoni may not be able to afford losing to the Nets in the last game of [New York's] back-to-back-to-back set." The Knicks have a top-heavy roster and no reliable guard play, and a quick turnaround seems more remote every day.

Feb 4, 10:28AM
Kevin Garnett has made a three-pointer in each of his past two games. "I don't want to become the new Rasheed Wallace of the league," KG said after the game. "[But] don't get it twisted. I do have that." Garnett has only attempted the two 3s all season, so there's no reason for excitement, but watch to see if he begins attempting more in the coming weeks.

Kenyon Martin PF - LAC:
Kenyon Martin to join...
Feb 4, 10:06AM
Kenyon Martin is expected to join the Clippers by Sunday or Monday, but he won't play in a game until "a few days" afterward. K-Mart will be the team's third big man behind DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin. He's a nice fit for the Clippers but isn't a likely source of reliable fantasy value -- last season he averaged 8.6 points and 6.2 rebounds in 48 games with Denver.

Chris Kaman PF,C - NO:

Feb 4, 10:02AM
Chris Kaman is likely to re-join the Hornets prior to Monday's game vs. the Kings. The Hornets will still listen to offers for Kaman and the pro-rated portion of his $14 million salary, as they're more interested in developing their young frontcourt players. We're not expecting Kaman's numbers to improve until he's dealt elsewhere.
