Jason Collins looked good in practice Sunday and, unless his surgically repaired knee swells up today, he should be ready to go on Wednesday night against the Bucks. Collins missed all but 14 minutes of action in the preseason. Meanwhile, Daily News reporter Ohm Youngmisuk writes that the Nets have decided to pick up their option on Zoran Planinic, meaning that he will remain a Net for the next two years. The Nets have a Monday afternoon deadline on Planinic.
