John Wall Says He's Lobbying Wizards to Sign DeMarcus Cousins to Contract

When DeMarcus Cousins returns to an NBA floor, John Wall hopes it's as a Wizard.

Wall, a longtime friend of Cousins and former teammate at Kentucky, said he has been lobbying Washington to sign the injured big man.

"Oh man, you know I'm trying to push for that. I've been on that for like five years. I want to sign him right now," Wall told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated, per NBC Sports Washington.

Cousins (torn ACL) and Wall (torn Achilles) have both missed the entire 2019-20 season due to injury.
