DeMarcus Cousins Wants To Know Why He Isn't In The League

Demarcus Cousins was once one of the more feared bigs in the NBA. Now, the former All-Star is on the outside looking in. Cousins hasn't been seen since last season when he spent time with the Nuggets. Cousins did work out for the Lakers earlier this year. Unfortunately, the team went in another direction. With the season basically over, the 32-year-old vet is wondering why he isn't on a roster. On Tuesday, Cousins admitted he doesn't really know the answer.




Appearing on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Cousins mentioned that he "would love to get a real answer" as to why he isn't playing. Cousins claims that he never gets an honest answer when looking into rejoining the league. The former Kentucky Wildcat does have a great argument on his side. With the Playoffs looming, many teams would be foolish not to look into adding the big man. In his career, Cousins has averaged 19 points and 10 rebounds per game. A career double-double average seems like a no-brainer for teams looking for depth.

While Cousins' career numbers are great, injuries could be an issue. Cousins hasn't played over 60 games in a season since 2016-17 when he appeared in 72 games. Cousins missed the entire 19-20 season with a torn ACL. As well as not playing in at least 50 games in the 20-21 and 21-22 seasons. Durability is definitely playing a role in the current process. Although, it's hard to question the toughness and talent Demarcus Cousins possesses. A healthy Cousins would be a great asset for any team. No matter their playoff situation.
