Filed under: 76ers, NBA Coaches, NBA Preseason

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- 76ers coach Doug Collins was back at practice Friday after missing two preseason games because of symptoms related to a concussion he sustained on Memorial Day.

Collins sad after practice that he fainted in a coffee shop on Memorial Day in Phoenix and broke three ribs. He also sustained a concussion when his head hit the concrete floor.

Collins was not present for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Cincinnati and Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks in Philadelphia. He then had neurological testing and treatment for what was diagnosed as vertigo.

"The doctor feels very good about it because he knows what it is," Collins said after a 2 1/2 -hour practice. "One of the crystals in my ear was knocked loose. It wasn't related to fatigue or stress or anything like that."
