DeMarcus Cousins is reportedly set to join Dwight Howard in Taiwan’s T1 League, but the volatile big man is wondering why he still isn’t in the NBA.
So much so, in fact, that the four-time All-Star still calls Warriors GM Bob Myers, even though he last played for Golden State three seasons ago and lasted just one season with the team. “DeMarcus called me a month ago and he said, ‘Why am I not in the NBA?’” Myers told Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on theearlier this week. “And I said, ‘You want that answer? … Because people are afraid of how you’re going to act.’ And he’s like ‘Why?’ And I said, ‘Well whatever the reason is, it’s here now.’
“And I like DeMarcus. You guys may know him. He’s just, I can’t blame him for him because of all he’s been through.”Cousins, 32, spent his first seven years in the NBA with Sacramento, where he rose to prominence but also found himself embroiled in a number of controversies. Notably, he was suspended two games by the league in November 2012 for confronting Spurs color commentator Sean Elliott in a “hostile manner” after Elliott said Cousins tried to “bully” Tim Duncan in a game.
Cousins, a four-time All Star then signed a mid-level exception to join the Warriors, who reached the NBA Finals in 2019, but he was again plagued by injuries. After the season, he signed a one-year deal with the Lakers but tore his ACL during a preseason workout and missed all of 2019-20.
