After two stints in the NBA last season with the Bucks and then the Nuggets as Nikola Jokic’s understudy, DeMarcus Cousins had not found an opportunity at the start of the season to continue his adventure with the Big League. The tunnel may be over soon, since the pivot will be training in the coming days with the Lakers, according to Chris Haynes of the Bleacher Report.
The end of the desert crossing for Boogie? Nothing is certain but in any case, he will have the opportunity to show that he can bring things to the workforce of the Lakers, who have decided to invite him to a workout for a possible ten-day contract. .

A way for Darvin Ham to strengthen the rotation with an interior who knows the league very well? This is probably the idea, especially since even if Anthony Davis’ condition improves day by day, bringing a new member to the group to do some work in the paint is all regarding a good operation in La La Land. The Lakers have signed a nice start to the calendar year with three consecutive victories, and would potentially benefit from offering themselves a man of experience to continue this good dynamic as much as possible.
On an individual level, DeMarcus Cousins has trained six days a week since the start of the season in Las Vegas. A millimeter lifestyle to allow him to return as quickly as possible to the NBA, which he had left following the elimination of the Nuggets in the Playoffs by the Warriors.
Behind Nikola Jokic, DMC had offered 8.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 31 games. He had also been hired by the Bucks in November 2021, where his role had been to replace Brook Lopez during his recovery. The quadruple All-Star is therefore aiming for a return to business, and Los Angeles represents for him a great opportunity both individually and collectively.
