Collectionview not displaying from api

[goodfoy (Bechir Mihoub)]

I can not display an array of objects in a collectionview from an api. I can parse the data and I know my array has all the data I want. Am I missing a method here?

class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {

@IBOutlet weak var collections: UICollectionView!


@IBOutlet weak var theSearch: UISearchBar!


var cPlayerArr = [CurrentPlayer]()




override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    downloadJSON {
        self.collections.reloadData()
        //print("***\(self.cPlayerArr)***")
    }
    self.collections.delegate = self
    self.collections.dataSource = self

}

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

    print(cPlayerArr.count)
    return cPlayerArr.count
  
}
  
  func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    
    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "playercell", for: indexPath) as! CurrentPlayerCell
    
    let item = cPlayerArr[indexPath.row]
    print(cPlayerArr[0])
    cell.update(with: item)
    
    return cell
  
}
