Collins violation stemmed from a positive test for Growth Releasing Peptide-2 per the NBA’s press release. He joins Phoenix Suns center DeAndre Ayton to begin the season with a 25-game ban. Collins won’t be eligible to return until December 23rd. Jabari Parker and Alex Len will benefit the most while Collins is out.
