According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, veterans center DeMarcus Cousins signs a 10-day deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.
ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk noted that Cousins had negative for COVID six times -19 must test before being cleared to exit the NBA Health and Safety Protocols. The four-time All-Star should be cleared by Monday, provided there are no setbacks.
The Clippers must meet the roster requirements of 14 players by Monday.
You currently have 13 (excluding 2-way players).
Monday has been 2 weeks since Mfiondu Kabengele was traded to Sacramento. https://t.co/FbHbhLoVPj
Cousins averaged 9.6 points and 7.6 rebounds in 25 missions for the Houston Rockets. However, he fought offensively and shot 37.6 percent off the field. This was partly due to the fact that more than half (55.2 percent) of his field goals came from outside the arch, according to the Basketball Reference, and he hit 33.6 percent of his long-distance jumpers.
The 30-year-old is no longer the athletic tall man he was in his prime with the Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Pelicans.
The current version of Cousins can still be used in a reserve role, and the Clippers already have Serge Ibaka and Ivica Zubac as options at 5. Ibaka got a back injury out of the way, opening up a place for cousins to play a meaningful role in for the time being. that is charged for the stretch run and the off-season, ultimately no major disadvantages. The Clippers don’t need cousins to make a world of difference. So it’s an added bonus when he connects immediately with his new teammates and has a positive impact on the field of play.
