NBC SportsKobe Sanders will replace John Collins (head, neck) in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Magic.

The Clippers won't have Collins on Sunday, as he was injured during the second quarter of Friday's loss to the Lakers. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Sanders, who's had some good moments as a spot starter this season. Whether he's worth the risk as a streamer depends on Kawhi Leonard (ankle), who is a game-time decision.
