The Hawks upgraded John Collins to questionable ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

The starting power forward had been listed as doubtful and missed the past three games with flu-like symptoms. Collins did not travel with the Hawks to Chicago for Sunday’s game but rejoined the team in Miami for Monday’s game although he could not play.

Collins is averaging 19.5 points and 9.5 rebounds this season for the Hawks (22-43).

The Hawks will get Taurean Prince back after the starting small forward missed the past two games for the birth of his son.

The Hawks list starting center Dewayne Dedmon (right knee contusion) as doubtful. Miles Plumlee (left knee pain) and  Omari Spellman (left ankle sprain) continue to be out.
