What an absolutely tough break for Cousins. He has struggled so much with injury lately as he tries to rehab his career.
After spending last season with the Warriors and not winning a title, he signed with the Lakers to get a fresh start.
Now, he’ll likely miss all of this upcoming season.

I hate to say it, but it has to be said at this point. I think there’s a very real chance Cousins never really bounces back from this.
He suffered an achilles injury and now has torn his ACL. For a guy who’s 29 years old and injured in back-to-back seasons, Cousins is not in a good position right now.
You never know what the future holds, but I wouldn’t be overly optimistic right now.

We’ll have to wait and see if he ever plays again. Hopefully, he’ll bounce back, but I wouldn’t bet on it happening at this point.
