Jason Collins had to leave the Magic game Wednesday, this time because of a a sore ankle, not a good thing with the Nets about to face Shaquille O'Neal and Alonzo Mourning Friday night. He is day-to-day. Help will not be arriving in the person of Chris Wilcox in spite of the Nets' interest and his stated desire to play in New Jersey, Meanwhile, Mile Ilic, the Nets 7'2" draft choice, is doing so well in Europe that he "could" arrive next season.
