John Collins Out for Jazz Due to Personal Matter
John Collins, the power forward for the Utah Jazz, is currently out due to a personal matter. The team announced that Collins will not be playing for now. This news comes after he recently dealt with a left hip contusion but was expected to play.
What It Means
Collins has been a key player for the Jazz this season. He averages 17.9 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. His absence will impact the team’s performance on both ends of the court.
The Jazz will likely need to rely more on Micah Potter, who ranks second in their power forward depth chart. Potter averages 16.9 minutes and 3.6 points per game, so stepping into Collins’ role will be a challenge.
