But he's hardly calling it a career.
One-time Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins is apparently done pursuing an NBA comeback. The former four-time All-Star, still just 34, has been playing abroad since 2022, but had been looking for opportunities in the league since splitting his 2021-22 season as a back-up center behind Robin Lopez with the Milwaukee Bucks and Nikola Jokic with the Denver Nuggets.
“I’m not going to go out trying to convince these guys anymore,” Cousins said. “You know what I bring to the floor. It’s been proven. If you really wanted to know who I am, you’d take the time to get to know me instead of listening to somebody else. I’m past trying to reach out. If an opportunity comes that makes sense, I’ll consider it, but I’m done with the convincing.”Cousins appeared to be on a potential, yes, Hall of Fame trajectory before his body began to break down.
