DeMarcus Cousins logged only three minutes and scored two points before he was forced to exit the game.
Cousins returned from a torn Achilles midway through the 2018-19 season. He has been a productive piece in the Warriors organization, averaging 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds in the regular season.
The Warriors will now look at Andrew Bogut as their primary center. They can also go small and employ their ādeath lineupā for long periods of time. Kevon Looney is also sure to log some minutes at the five.
Hopefully, the injury is nothing serious and Cousins will return in GameĀ 3 of the series when it moves to Los Angeles. More details are sure to follow as soon as Cousins receives his MRI results.
