TMZ releases video footage of the moment Cousins t*ore his ACL.
Los Angeles Lakers big man DeMarcus Cousins s*uffered a t*orn ACL this week, marking his third major i*njury in the last 19 months. The six-time All Star, who signed a one, year $3.5 million contract with the Lakers last month, will likely miss most, if not all, of the 2019-20 season as a result.
As seen in the video embedded below, the d*evastating i*njury occurred as Cousins was going up for a layup during a pickup basketball game in Las Vegas.
As noted, Cousins just can not seem to stay healthy as of late. It all began with the achilles i*njury he su*ffered in January 2018 while playing for the New Orleans Pelicans, which cost him most of the 2018-19 campaign.
In his 30 regular season games with the Golden State Warriors, Boogie averaged 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists, but was b*it by the i*njury bug again when he t*ore his quad in the opening round of the playoffs. Although he was able to return for the NBA Finals, Cousins explained to ESPN's Rachel Nichols after the in*jury, “I was just ready to quit. Like, throw the towel in."
The 28-year old boasts career averages of 21.2 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, but his recent i*njury history is th*reatening to d*erail his All-Star caliber play. A timetable for his recovery has not yet been announced.
