Warriors Center DeMarcus Cousins Injures Quad vs. Clippers, Will Not Return
DeMarcus Cousins exited the Warriors' Game 2 matchup against the Clippers on Monday night after a right quad injury in the first quarter at Oracle Arena in Oakland. He will not return and will receive an MRI on Tuesday, per TNT's broadcast.
Cousins chased down a deflection past mid-court, but tripped and fell to the ground as he approached the three-point line. Cousins stayed behind as the Clippers took the ball up the floor, then motioned for a timeout on the next possession.
The Kentucky product tore his achilles as a member of the Pelicans in January 2018. He signed a one-year deal with Golden State in July 2018, and made his first appearance of the season on Jan. 18.
