The Spurs begin a three-game road trip and it will be a homecoming of sorts for Collins.
A chilled-out Collins returns to the Moda Center on Monday, as the Spurs begin a three-game road trip against the Trail Blazers.
That total — one point off his career high — was Collins’ fifth double-digit scoring outing of the new year. It was not a one-off. For a far-too-long segment of Collins’ still-young career, his best moments have been relegated to the practice court. Collins was still rehabbing from the last of those knife-cuttings when the Spurs signed him to a three-year, $22-million contract in the summer of 2021.
Heading into Monday’s game, Collins has made 35 appearances, most since his second season in Portland in 2018-19.“It’s been a very long time since I have had a season where I can start the season and finish the season,” Collins said. “It’s great to experience a full year.”Able to stay healthy for longer swaths, Collins is averaging a career-high 9.5 points on a career-best 54.2-percent shooting, while also supplying 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in a reserve role.
When the dust-up between Sochan and Morris began to boil over Tuesday, other Spurs were not surprised to see Collins insert himself into the fray.
