Report: Clippers plan to sign former Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins

Before the regular season’s final push towards the playoffs, it looks like a former member of the Golden State Warriors has a new squad. After stints with the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets, DeMarcus Cousins could be on his way to the Los Angeles Clippers.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Clippers are planning to sign Cousins pending clearance of the NB’s health and safety protocols.

Via @ShamsCharania on Twitter:

As a member of the Warriors during the 2018-19 season, Cousins averaged 16.3 points on 48% shooting from the field with 8.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 30 games.

After spending the 2019-20 season sidelined with the Lakers due to a torn ACL, the Kentucky Wildcats product played 25 games with the Rockets in the 2020-21 run. With Houston, Wiseman averaged 9.6 points on 37.6% shooting from the field with 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 20.2 minutes per contest.

With the Rockets looking towards the future with Christian Wood in the frontcourt, Cousins was waived on Feb. 23. Fast forward towards the end of March, Cousins could now have the opportunity to contribute towards a postseason run with the Clippers.

Along with adding Cousins in the buyout market, the Clippers acquired veteran point guard Rajon Rondo from the Atlanta Hawks for Lou Williams. Behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers sit at No. 3 in the Western Conference standings with a 32-17 record.
