PROVO -- Last week, we sat down with Kyle Collinsworth to learn about his life on and off the court. This week, we look at the life of Kyle's older brother and teammate Chris.
Chris graduated from Provo High School, where he played basketball with Brandon Davies and brother Kyle.
After serving an LDS mission in Australia, Chris returned to the Cougars to play his sophomore year, only to be sidelined early in the season with a knee injury.
But a knee injury wasn't the worst injury Chris had ever received.
While serving in Sydney, Australia, Chris and his mission companion were jumped by some members of their neighborhood.
"We were both stabbed," Collinsworth said. "He had some cuts on his hands and legs and his were worse than mine. I had one in my back."
Both were quickly taken to the hospital where they spent their time recovering in intensive care.
"We were extremely lucky that the injuries that we had were as insignificant as they were," Collinsworth said. "It was just another learning experience."
Since returning, Chris has enjoyed playing with his younger brother Kyle.
"It's been a great leaning experience and it's been a great year," Collinsworth said. "We've done really well and we've been really successful. It's been really fun for me to be a part of it."
