The old saying that Zach Collins can’t catch a break has reared its ugly head again. It’s not nearly as serious as the several knee injuries he suffered over the last few years, but it’s still something that seemingly can only happen to him.
Some might recall that there was a pause in play in the Spurs’ win over the Kings on April 2 after Collins suffered seemingly innocuous cut on his finger. He got it cleaned like always, returned to play, appeared in two more games, and all seemed fine. But then, he was sent home for the final two games of the season after his finger started swelling and becoming infected.
