How could the Lakers replace DeMarcus Cousins?

What would a torn ACL mean for DeMarcus Cousins and the Los Angeles Lakers?

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday that the Lakers fear Cousins suffered a torn ACL when he was injured Monday in an offseason workout in Las Vegas. That diagnosis could be confirmed later Thursday, when Cousins meets with team physicians.

Given Cousins was penciled in as the starting center for a Lakers team with championship aspirations after adding Anthony Davis to team with LeBron James, the injury would have important ramifications for the Lakers and the rest of the league.
