Los Angeles Lakers’ Cousins suffers ACL injury

Los Angeles Lakers' new recruit DeMarcus Cousins has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury, his agent has confirmed. Cousins, who battled through a quad injury during the play-offs with the Golden State Warriors last season - having already overcome a torn Achilles suffered midway through the 2017-18 campaign - signed a one-year deal worth $3.5million with the Lakers in July. However, the Lakers look set to be without their star signing for a time, with the center's agent Jeff Schwartz confirming to ESPN that Cousins ruptured his ACL during a workout in Las Vegas.
