Hawks power forward John Collins did not travel to Chicago with the team on Saturday and is listed as doubtful for tomorrow’s game against the Bulls.

Collins is out with flu-like symptoms. He missed Friday night’s four overtime home loss to the Bulls. The possibility remains that Collins could join the team Saturday night or Sunday morning before the 3 p.m. game.

The Hawks will also be without forward Taurean Prince (personal reasons) and forward/center Omari Spellman (left ankle sprain). Spellman was injured Friday.

The Hawks’ lengthy injury report also includes forward Vince Carter (right knee contusion), guard Kevin Huerter (back contusion) and center Alex Len (left knee contusion) as probable.

The Hawks also play at the Heat on Monday to complete three games in four nights.
