Last season, Collins earned $4,137,302. Moreover, the 23-year-old power forward exercised his 2020-21 team option on October 19, 2019. However, on November 5, 2019, Collins received a 25-game suspension without pay for violating the NBA’s Anti-Drug Program. He tested positive for growth hormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP2). Regarding offensive production, the soon-to-be fifth-year player has proven his effectiveness. Thus far, his best season was back in the 2019-20 season, when he averaged 21.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in 41 games started. At this point of his career, his only NBA accolade was qualifying for the All-Rookie Second Team back in 2018.
