Demarcus Cousins Will Not Make Himself Available To Be Signed When The NBA Season Resumes

The NBA re-opened the window for teams that are participating in the resumption of the season in Orlando today until June 30th, with many anticipating a team taking a chance on Demarcus Cousins. According to a report from Shams Charania of The Athletic, Cousins will sit out the remainder of the 2019-20 season and will not sign with anyone.

Cousins, who at one time was one of the best big men in the league, suffered an Achilles injury in 2018 before he was set to sign a big contract in free agency. He would sign a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors before injuring his quadricep in the playoffs. He would sign another one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers before tearing his ACL before the season started.

Sources: Multiple teams have expressed interest in DeMarcus Cousins but have been told the four-time All-Star will sit out the resumed season and continue rehab for full return in 2020-21.
