DeMarcus Cousins looked like an exciting signing at a bargain deal for the Los Angeles Lakers, but events plummeted quickly with a season-ending injury and legal issues for the big man.
Let’s review the events in order.
On Aug. 15 Cousins suffered a devastating torn ACL which put an end to his Lakers season before it was even started. It is the third major injury he suffers in his left leg in two years.
15 days later, an arrest warrant was issued for Cousins on misdemeanor domestic violence. He was recorded threatening the mom of his seven-year-old son.
