MJ Collins - Dealing with knee injury Collins did not take the court in Wednesday's 74-57 loss to Auburn due to a knee injury, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports. Impact While the injury initially appeared to be concerning, coach Mike Young offered a positive update after Wednesday's game, telling reporters that he expects Collins to be back in uniform Sunday against Louisville. Collins had started all seven previous games for Virginia Tech, but the scoring had been inconsistent for the sophomore guard. He had yet to surpass six points in a game and scored a combined six over his last three contests. His defensive contributions have been more noteworthy, as he had picked up seven total steals in the two games prior to suffering the injury. If Collins is unable to go on Sunday, the Hokies likely again look to Tyler Nickel, who started Wednesday's game in his stead.
