An MRI has confirmed that DeMarcus Cousins suffered a torn quad in last night’s second game of the Warriors NBA Playoffs series vs. the Clippers.

This is probably season-ending for Cousins, but he and the team will see how he responds within the first two weeks of rehab that is not expected to require surgery, sources said.
