After Golden State Warriors’ center DeMarcus Cousins tore his left quadriceps muscle in the first round playoff series against LA Clippers, it looked like the 28-year-old will be out for the rest of the postseason. Still, it seems like Cousins’ recovery is going pretty well and he might play again if Warriors make another deep playoff run.
Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr recently spoke with reporters about the injuries of DeMarcus Cousins and Damian Jones and said that both players might step on the court again before the 2018/18 NBA season wraps up.
“It’s a possibility he could be back. Same with DeMarcus,” – said Kerr on Sunday.
“He’s coming along pretty well and so we’ll just wait and see,” – he continued on Cousins. “He’s had just normal progression from the injury.”
Although it seemed like Cousins’ injury didn’t slow the Warriors down, he was still an important piece for the team in the regular season. Since coming back from Achilles injury he suffered in January 2018, he played 30 regular season games and averaged 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 rebounds.
Golden State Warriors are currently battling Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Semi-Finals with the Warriors being ahead 2-1 in the series.
