It is still unknown when DeMarcus Cousins is going to make his season debut, but it looks like we are getting closer if Boogie is going through full practices. The Warriors' training staff will likely want to see how Cousins' body reacts to the full practice, and he still needs to get his conditioning up to speed.
Cousins, a four-time All-Star, signed a one-year deal with Golden State in the offseason worth $5.3 million. The 28-year-old played in 48 games last year with New Orleans before going down with the injury. He was averaging 25.2 points and 12.9 rebounds per game while shooting 47.0 percent from the field, 35.4 percent from beyond the arc and 74.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Cousins has the luxury of being able to take his time with his rehab since he's playing for the Warriors, who have won two straight NBA Finals and are primed to win their third this season barring something unforeseen happening.
Whenever Cousins plays, he will give Golden State its fifth All-Star in the starting lineup alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.
