Former BYU star Kyle Collinsworth drawing on past experience in effort to secure a spot on Toronto Raptors' roster

PARK CITY — Arriving in Toronto last month as a member of a new team in a different country wasn’t terrifying for Kyle Collinsworth.

Even as a late addition to the Toronto Raptors, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints member has leaned on his faith to endure much tougher challenges at a younger age.

His trust in a higher being was on display following Monday’s practice at the Park City Recreation Center, as the Raptors visited his home state on the eve of Tuesday’s preseason matchup against the Utah Jazz.

The former BYU product recently agreed to a partially guaranteed deal in Toronto, after spending last season in Dallas, but still has to fight for a spot.
