Zach Collins Is Excited To See Doug McDermott Tonight

The San Antonio Spurs forward is eager to face his former teammate in tonight's game against the Sacramento Kings

Zach Collins is looking forward to seeing his former teammate Doug McDermott when the San Antonio Spurs host the Sacramento Kings tonight. The two players were teammates with the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2020-21 season and developed a close friendship.

Collins praised McDermott's shooting ability and unselfish play

"Doug is a great shooter and a great teammate," Collins said. "He's always willing to share the ball and make the extra pass. He's a guy that I really enjoyed playing with." McDermott is averaging 11.3 points per game this season for the Kings, and he is shooting 41.8% from three-point range. He is a valuable piece of the Kings' offense and is one of the team's most consistent shooters.

Collins is also having a solid season for the Spurs, averaging 9.1 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. He is a versatile player who can play both power forward and center, and he is a good defender.

The Spurs and Kings are both in the playoff hunt, so tonight's game is an important one for both teams. Collins is confident that the Spurs can win the game if they play together and execute their game plan.

"We just need to play hard and play together," Collins said. "We need to move the ball and get good shots. If we do that, we'll have a good chance of winning."
