However, Collins may see only limited […]

Caris LeVert Remains Out Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Houston.

Quentin Grimes Returns To Action Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Quentin Grimes (back) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against Minnesota. Back spasms forced Grimes to miss Monday's matchup against Charlotte.
