On March 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season is now nearing the end, and teams are working hard for the playoff rankings, but for the Hawks, the team has suffered bad news of injuries. Reporting from NBA leading journalist Shams Charania, Hawks forward John Collins suffered a tear in the sole fascia of his right foot and injury to his right ring finger.
Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said in a previous interview that Collins will seek the opinion of a professional medical team on his current hand and foot injuries, and there is no clear return date at present, and it is very likely to face season reimbursement, which is a very fatal blow for the Hawks.
It is worth mentioning that in the past period of time, Collins has been fighting with injuries, and the reporter Jameelah has previously released a photo of John Collins' finger injury, and his right ring finger has been very swollen, which makes people have a shocking feeling after seeing it.
As the No. 19 pick in the first round of 2017, John Collins has been improving since being drafted by the Hawks, and as a forward player, he can also make a cameo position as a center, very flexible on the court, not only has mid-range shooting ability, but also a very good rebounder, but also a tough basket protector.
John Collins has played in 54 games for the Hawks so far this season, averaging 30 minutes per game, averaging 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds , 1.8 assists + 1 block + 0.6 steals, shooting 52.6 percent from the field, and shooting 36.4 percent and 79.3 percent from three-point and free throws.
The Hawks are currently in tenth place in the East with a record of 34 wins and 35 losses, and are still in the playoff playoffs. For the Nets, the Hawks are their potential play-off opponents, and Collins' injury will greatly reduce the Eagles' combat effectiveness and facilitate their entry into the playoffs.
