The NBA received some tough news on Saturday night. Pelicans All-Star big man
DeMarcus Cousins suffered a torn left Achilles against the Rockets and will miss
the rest of the season.
It’s a shame considering it seemed like Cousins and Anthony Davis were finally
gelling. Cousins is one of the most uniquely talented players we’ve seen in NBA
history. At 27, he was just entering the prime of his career.
Wolves center Karl-Anthony Towns, who like Cousins, attended Kentucky, discussed
the injury after Saturday’s shootaround.
“It’s amazingly hard. I think people who watch me and Boogie play each other
think we hate each other, but we’re from the same school, from the same family,
from the same brotherhood,” Towns said. “It’s always tough when you see your
brother get hurt no matter how competitive me and him are on the court. I have
tremendous respect for him, not only as a player on the court, but a person. I’m
wishing nothing but the best. I hope for a speed recovery, a safe recovery. . .
It sends chills through you.”
We wish nothing but the best for Cousins is in his rehab and that he’ll return
better than ever. Although we’ve seen with Achilles injuries, that’s not always
the case.
