ESPN’s Marc Spears reported that Cousins suffered a torn left quad. Cousins left Monday night’s game early after sustaining an injury chasing a loose ball. The Warriors ended up losing the game 135-131 after having lead the game by 31 points in the third quarter. It was the largest blown lead in NBA History.

Obviously this is terrible news for Cousins and the Warriors. For Golden State, they should be okay barring a collapse in team chemistry, as they still have four all-stars in the line-up.
You just have to feel terrible for DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins suffered a devastating season-ending injury while with the Pelicans last season. It’s terrible to see such a talented player continually derailed by injuries.
