Collins will undergo season-ending surgery to address the left ankle injury he suffered Aug. 15, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

After re-evaluating Collins, the Blazers determined that the big man wouldn't be able to return to action at any point during the postseason. He'll wrap up his third NBA season with only 11 appearances, during which he averaged 7.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.4 minutes. Wenyen Gabriel will likely continue to start at power forward in Collins' stead to help guard the Lakers' bigs and wings in the Blazers' first-round playoff series.
