Collins was the victim of a vicious dunk by Minnesota star Anthony Edwards with 5:29 remaining in the third. He went up for a block when Edwards took flight, but the latter elevated well above Collins' outstretched arm, throwing down a right-handed tomahawk slam.

Prior to exiting, Collins had 11 points and six rebounds in 20 minutes of action.
Collins, 26, has averaged 14.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 blocks across 63 games (61 starts) this season, his first with Utah following six with the Atlanta Hawks.
The Timberwolves came away with a 114-104 win. Edwards finished with a game-high 32 points.
