Hawks' John Collins suspended 25 games for Anti-Drug violation
Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins has been suspended 25 games for violating the NBA's Anti-Drug policy.
What It Means:
The league announced that Collins tested positive for Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2). It's a huge loss for the Hawks that should lead to even more usage for Trae Young (ankle). Jabari Parker or DeAndre Bembry will likely replaced Collins in the starting lineup. Alex Len could also see an expanded role.
Collins is averaging 17.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 2.0 blocks, 1.8 3-pointers, and 37.6 FanDuel points per game.
