Collinsworth played with the Dallas Mavericks last season appearing in 32 games. He scored 3.2 points per game, pulled down 3.3 rebounds per contest, and dished out 1.8 assists per game.
The former Cougar did not get drafted, but joined the Mavericks’ 2016 Summer League team. He signed with Dalls before getting waived just before the beginning of the 2016-2017 season. From there he played with the organization’s G-League affiliate the Texas Legends.
In December 2017 Collinsworth signed a two-way contract with the Mavericks. The team waived him and then signed him to couple of 10 day contracts before signing him for the rest of the season in February this year.
The former BYU guard will join the new look Raptors who traded for former San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard over the summer. He will also be teammates with former University of Utah guard Delon Wright.
