Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins’ MRI reveals torn quad, likely out for season
by Bruno ManriqueApril 16, 2019
Golden State center DeMarcus Cousins has been diagnosed with a torn left quad
after undergoing an MRI examination Tuesday morning, according to Shams
Charania of The Athletic. The injury is highly likely to keep him out for the
remainder of the season, but the team will see how he responds within the
first two weeks of his rehabilitation, as the injury is not expected to
require surgery.
The big man suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Monday's Game
2 against the L.A. Clippers after picking off a Danilo Gallinari pass and
chasing after a loose ball.
Cousins quickly grabbed his left quad and clutched it, turning to the bench
as he got up and asking for a substitute. He would refuse help getting up and
follow the training staff into the locker room.
An initial look at Cousins'quad shows the tendon is visibly swollen and out
of its normal place, which caused analysts like TNT’s Charles Barkley to
fear for a potentially-torn quad, an injury he himself experienced in 1999.
Barkley's observation is more than mere commentary, as he weighed nearly as
much as Cousins (270 pounds) during his playing days and knows the strain put
on the muscle and ligaments when playing in the NBA.
The Warriors were bracing for the worst of outcomes, but also considered it
could be a severe strain, which would be easier to recover from.
Cousins was coming off a near 12-month absence after tearing his Achilles
last February as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, effectively ending his
season. It was that major injury that eventually gave other teams pause about
signing him as a free agent, which ultimately resulted in Cousins signing a
one-year deal with Golden State for the $5.3 million mid-level exception.
This was the 28-year-old's first stint in the playoffs, though he saw only
one game before his four minutes of playing time prior to suffering the
injury.
