After surviving nearly two years of battling injuries, Collins can be forgiven for being selfish about playing time. As a first-time, full-time starter following the trade deadline deal that sent Jakob Poeltl to Toronto, he’s having the time of his life.
“If human beings couldn’t get tired, I would love to play the whole game,” he said.
“It’s fun being in the starting role getting all those minutes,” said Collins, 25. “I wish we were winning more, but it’s definitely a fun experience.” And he was on his way to another one with 10 points and nine rebounds before referees ejected him in the second quarter of Friday’s win over Denver. Collins logged just 11 games with Portland in 2019-20 due to a torn labrum before missing all of 2020-21 with a stress fracture of his ankle. When he finally returned to the court on Feb. 4, 2022 as a Spur, he had gone 540 days without playing in an NBA game.
