Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins is making steady progress in his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon and the All-Star big man says the “finish line is in sight.”

DeMarcus Cousins has been practicing with the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State's G-League affiliate. It's still unknown when Boogie will join the Dubs, but it looks like he is getting real close.

“This has been a grind,” Cousins says in his return documentary. “Once you kind of feeling like yourself again and start doing the things you used to do, now it's just like I'm ready to get back on the court and play.

“I'm in a better place, mentally, physically. The finish line is in sight.”

Cousins was having a great year last season with the New Orleans Pelicans before he tore his Achilles tendon in January against the Houston Rockets. The four-time All-Star was averaging 25.2 points and 12.9 rebounds per game while shooting 47.0 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from beyond the arc.

The injury decreased Cousins' market value, as he didn't receive any offers from any team once free agency started July 1. That's why Boogie had to call the Warriors and sign with the champs for a meager $5.3 million.
