Former Golden State Warriors Star Announces End of NBA Career

In a recent interview with Cyro Asseo de Choch of HoopsHype, former Golden State Warriors star Demarcus Cousins announced that his time in the NBA is up:

"I know I’ve had my time there," Cousins said. "You know, there was a point where I was trying to make that happen. But the place I’m in my life now, just with everything I’ve got going on, just outside of basketball, like I’m in a good place. So, like I said, I’m excited for what I have ahead and my future. You know, my 12 years in the league were a small chapter or chapters in my life. And, I’m ready to move on to the next and see what’s in store for me."

Cousins joined the Warriors in 2018, which was the next season after what turned out to be his final All-Star appearance. Selected to the 2018 All-Star team, Cousins suffered a ruptured achilles in late January of that season, and didn't play again until joining Golden State the next year.

While Cousins was never the same player again after that injury, he still averaged 16.3 PPG and 8.2 RPG in 30 regular season games for the Warriors. Tearing his left quadriceps in the first round of the 2019 playoffs, Cousins didn't return until the NBA Finals, where he appeared in all six games against the Toronto Raptors.
