Healthy at last, Spurs’ Collins shows off new him

Zach Collins displayed his versatility with 11 points, four assists, three rebounds and two blocks in Sunday’s preseason opener.Technically speaking, Zach Collins has been in the NBA since 2017, when he debuted for the Portland Trail Blazers.

Collins did not make his Spurs debut until Feb. 4 against Houston. It was his first NBA action since August 2020. Zach Collins “will fill a huge role for us, the way he picks and pops and can shoot the ball,” Spurs wing Devin Vassell said.If Collins can pick up where he left off in Portland — a significant “if,” hence the risk — the Spurs believe he can become a key component of a roster still under reconstruction.

“Coming back from an injury, the focus is on healing the injury and making sure your body is ready to come back and play games,” Collins said. “You don’t really get a chance to be in the weight room and work on being explosive and not just having to do rehab in there for 30 minutes.”
