Los Angeles Lakers: Start of 2019-20 sets up for fast start

The Los Angeles Lakers have found themselves in the headlines once again, unfortunately, it isn’t for a good reason.

Free agent signing, DeMarcus Cousins, suffered a serious knee injury this week while working out. It seems that Cousins has torn his ACL, which will most likely end his season before it even began.

The loss of Cousins could be a big one for the Lakers. While nothing was yet set in stone, he could have easily worked his way into the starting lineup. Even if he didn’t start games, he was looking at the role of at least 20 minutes per game.
