DeMarcus Cousins Aiming to Return from Injury After Christmas

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins is hoping to return to the court after Christmas, the Mercury News’ Logan Murdock reported on Monday.

According to Murdock, Cousins had originally wanted to make his Warriors debut during the team’s five-game road trip, which starts Thursday and runs through Dec. 7:

“Nonetheless, there have been no setbacks in his recovery process and the decision to push his target date back was made so Cousins can regain his conditioning and enter the lineup at peak form, according to a source. Cousins is expected to be re-evaluated on his progress Tuesday, according to a source.”

Cousins is still recovering from the torn Achilles he suffered in January. The fact he’d miss a big chunk of the 2018-19 campaign was apparent when he signed with the Warriors in the summer.
