Spurs big man Zach Collins has been on assignment in Austin for the last few weeks working his way back into shape after recovering from ankle surgery. So far he has played in three games — first on-court activity since August 2020 with the Portland Trail Blazers — and Austin Spurs head coach Peter Bozic recently gave an update on his progress:
“He’s getting back in rhythm. He’s moving better. Running the floor well in transition and other stuff. In my personal opinion, he looks better on the court than in the first game.”
Regarding when he thinks Collins will return Bozic basically said that’s being determined on a game-by-game basis, but it sounds and looks like he’s getting there.
