DeMarcus Cousins has reportedly suffered a torn ACL while working out according to Shams Charania. Cousins was slated to play a big role at the five this year for the Lakers, so this injury will affect the Lakers plans at the center position and thrust JaVale McGee into a bigger role going forward.
Cousins was signed to a one-year deal in the offseason and looked poised to take over as the starting center. He played some of the best basketball of his career next to Anthony Davis in New Orleans and was hoping to get back to that this season.
