Foul-plagued Spurs center Zach Collins places onus for his recent issues on himself, not...
Guard Malaki Branham is the only member of the Spurs’ 2022 draft class who’s not sidelined with an injury.Zach Collins was being picked on. He was sure of it.
Thursday’s home game against Houston marked the fourth in a row Collins started in place of the injured Jakob Poeltl.Collins fouled out last Friday’s loss to New Orleans. He came close in defeats to Oklahoma City and Phoenix, with five fouls in each. “He’s a physical guy, and we don’t want him to necessarily change the way he plays,” forward Doug McDermott said. “That brings a lot to our team. He brings a lot of good energy out there.”“With Jakob out, sometimes you’ve got to be a little more careful,” McDermott said. “Maybe not take the silly ones.”“I’ve just got to be smarter. That’s more on me,” he said. “I might still get some tough calls, because I always want to be at the rim. I want to be physical.
Between the first and second quarters, the game operations crew rolled a Duncan highlight video on the arena’s big screen to get the afternoon crowd amped. After being introduced, Duncan ambled out of the tunnel and to midcourt, waved to the roaring crowd, then left as quickly as he had appeared.McDermott said he appreciated Duncan’s under-the-radar approach.
The results have screamed “work in progress.” He has averaged 6.2 points in that span while shooting 40 percent from the field, including a 4-of-15 mark from 3-point range.
