Yes, the reports on Nurkic suggest he might be back late March or early April, but if he has any more setbacks then he probably wont be back this season.
Collins was scheduled to be reevaluated in 4 months which was actually today. So we might hear a report soon if any info is released. Collins was also interviewed as saying he plans to be back this month. But his type of injury takes 4-6 months with 6 being more common so while Collins might want to play the team might hold him out to be careful.
We might get an update about Nurkic and Collins around march 9th or 14th because there will be practices around then.

yeah, it's not certain either will play this season, but it's looking like at most, either will play more than a handful of games, like in the 6-10 range. There are only 19 games left in Portland's season
Paul George came back at the end of a season after suffering an injury like Nurk's. He played 6 games and he averaged 15 minutes; 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist while shooting under 37% on FG's. He had twice as many turnovers as assists and played like boiled owl crap. I wouldn't count on Nurkic being anywhere close to normal if he does make it back
as for Collins, shoulder injuries seem to come in clusters. Joel Przybilla had something like 4 shoulder injuries over 3 years. Meyers Leonard had something like 3 or 4 over his first 3 or 4 seasons too. Big white shoulders are fragile apparently
Portland needs to be really cautious with both these guys and the fact that Nurkic got injured in his 1st full practice is pretty concerning. This season is not worth risking either player, IMO

Good news about Nurkic being back on the 15th. That puts him at where Jason Quick speculated as the earliest he would come back.
Didn’t Paul George come back several months faster than Nurkic? I also think part of it is George is dribbling and using quickness more than Nurkic. That sort of stuff takes more timing and game fitness. Nurkic might take time to be in rhythm and game fitness but I think he will be helpful right away.
I read dislocations and torn labrums like Zach had if untreated have a very high chance of redislocation and potentially furthering the tear. Like 90+% in that scenario but it is more like 5% after the treatment Zach had. But that it also generally is 5-6 months to be ready rather than 4 months. So if he comes back this month he either healed faster than most or is running more of a risk to be back early.

This team without Nurk isn’t even in the playoff race. Watch the interviews from the man himself, workouts, dude will be just fine.

Be a good thing to see what his movements are like...

There's video of hood practicing today. I saw him doing dribbling drills.
Nurkic has a video out as well where he is interviewed at practice. He said the g league practice is the last check point he his agent and team agreed on because it should be closer to a game. He said he practiced today but Portland doesn't have enough guys able to practice to give something close enough to game play.
