DeMarcus Cousins is expected to work out with the Lakers next week, according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, as the team searches for reinforcements in the frontcourt with Anthony Davis sidelined due to a foot injury.
An official date for the workout has yet to be determined, but Cousins has been staying in shape by working out in Las Vegas. As of Thursday, NBA teams are eligible to sign players to 10-day contracts, which could be an option for the Lakers to take advantage of with the 11-year NBA veteran.
Cousins, 32, last played for the Nuggets during the 2021–22 season. He saw action in 31 games as the primary backup for MVP Nikola Jokić, averaging 8.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per contest.
