Oh no.
Basketball fans received some horrible, horrible news on Thursday after Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins tore his ACL. The injury occurred less than two years since Cousins tore his Achilles with the New Orleans Pelicans and he now faces another lengthy rehab process. Cousins was expected to play a key role on the new look Lakers, but will now remained sidelined for the entire seasons thanks to…
A pickup basketball game in Las Vegs.
Brutal, right? The injury would at least hurt a little less if it was during team activities, but unfortunately this one happened during a scrimmage.
An absolutely devastating site for all basketball fans… Just brutal.
Cousins is just 29 but has missed out on a lot of potential earnings. Per Spotrac, the big man has still made $89,548,986 over his career, however, his past two contracts have been a one-year, $5,337,000 deal with the Warriors and a one-year, $3,500,000 with the Lakers. Think about what could have been had he stayed healthy…
Time will tell how Cousins is able to bounce back from the injury but man, what a tough blow. All the best in your recovery, Boogie!
