Hawks forward John Collins is expected to miss all three of Atlanta’s remaining games before All-Star break after an MRI on Saturday revealed a right foot strain.

Collins left Friday’s 136-121 loss to the San Antonio Spurs with pain in his right heel.

The Hawks are set to play three games — vs. the Celtics in Boston on Sunday, the Cleveland Cavaliers in Atlanta on Tuesday and the Magic in Orlando on Wednesday — before the All-Star break.

“Following a period of rest, treatment and daily monitoring this week and throughout the All-Star break, his status will be updated as appropriate,” the Hawks said of Collins in a statement.

Collins, 24, is averaging 16.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks for the Hawks this season.

Atlanta’s first game back after the break is at Chicago on February 24.
