The Pelicans have officially announced that center DeMarcus Cousins underwent successful surgery today at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Los Angeles to repair the season-ending rupture of his left Achilles tendon that he suffered in last week’s game against Houston.
As previously reported, Cousins will miss the remainder of the 2017/18 season, but his surgery went “very well” and he is expected to make a full recovery and be able to return to basketball after an intensive rehabilitation program.
Cousins, 27, had been playing at an All-NBA level before the injury, appearing in 48 games and averaging 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game.
Yus. Boogie is gonna come back a beast.
Sad to see a guy who is finally in a good place mentally go down.
Is 48 games enough to be selected as all NBA? If not, that means a much higher chance of bonus for Embiid.
Is it just me, or does he look like Joe Budden in this picture?
