Hawks head coach Nate McMillan described Collins as “more than just a player; he was a leader, a friend, and a brother to his teammates.”
Collins’ teammates are struggling to come to terms with the loss, with many taking to social media to express their grief. Guard Trae Young, a close friend of Collins, wrote, “I can’t believe you’re gone, JC. You were the heart and soul of this team, and we will miss you more than words can say.”
The Hawks organization has canceled all upcoming events and is providing support to Collins’ family and teammates during this difficult time. The team has also announced plans to honor Collins’ memory throughout the remainder of the season.
