Los Angeles Lakers: 5 players that could fill the void of DeMarcus Cousins

It has been a nightmare for new Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins since he tore his Achilles two seasons ago. Unfortunately, he suffered another catastrophic injury to the same leg this week. During an offseason workout, Boogie bumped knees in a pickup game at a local gym with someone guarding him and that sent him falling to the floor.

The bumped knee story came out early Thursday morning, and then a few hours later the tragic news broke that Cousins had a torn ACL. Every Lakers fan’s heart sunk into their stomach right when they read or heard the news.
