Portland Trail Blazers big man Zach Collins is out indefinitely after undergoing a second surgery to repair a left medial malleolus stress fracture, president of basketball operations Neil Olshey announced Tuesday.
Collins had the same procedure on his foot last December. The 23-year-old ultimately didn't suit up for the entire 2020-21 season.
That setback came after Collins missed all but 11 games in 2019-20 after dislocating his shoulder early in the campaign.
Collins has been held to just 154 out of 310 possible regular-season games since entering the league as the No. 10 pick in 2017. When active, Collins has averaged 5.7 points and four rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.
