SEASON OVERVIEW
The social-media posts documenting his recovery from an Achilles injury have been hashtagged “#TheResurgence” or “#0Doubt,” the latter partly a reference to his New Orleans uniform number. Cousins’ second season with the Pelicans may be best described as “unfinished business.”
When the 6-foot-11, four-time All-Star fell to the floor during the final seconds of an impressive New Orleans win over Houston on Jan. 26, it immediately meant an end to his hopes of appearing in the NBA playoffs for the first time in his career.
