Interesting article in The Athletic today:

The benefits of a ‘calloused mind’: Zach Collins’ rehab includes his approach to the game ⁠— and his life

Somewhere between the haze of dashed dreams and the post-surgery pity parties, Collins was confronted by what many professional athletes encounter during a major injury: an identity crisis. During most of his 21 years, basketball was the most defining element of his life. It was what he was best at, how he was recognized, how he managed his stress, and how he viewed himself.

And now, basketball was gone until the spring, leaving him with a harrowing question: Who was he?

“What else do you have?” Collins remembers asking himself. “And I realized, I don’t have much.”

Zach played 7 minutes against Grizzlies today, but he looked hobbled throughout. Apparently, ankle inflammation. https://www.nbcsports.com/northwest/...t-ankle-injury
