NBA Free Agency Rumors: ‘Mutual Interest’ Between Lakers, Dwight Howard After DeMarcus Cousins Injury

When the Los Angeles Lakers shifted their attention to Plan B in free agency, there was great optimism after signing DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year, $3.5 million deal.

Following two significant injuries (torn left Achilles and torn left quadriceps) with the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors, Cousins was extremely motivated to return to All-Star form and visibly lost weight after the signing.

Unfortunately, Cousins suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a workout and the Lakers are looking at options.
