TORONTO – It has become apparent that the Warriors have a crucial decision to make and that they’ll have to proceed with extreme skill throughout the process.
What to do with DeMarcus Cousins, who will be active for Game 1 of the NBA Finals?
Cousins was the starting center until he went down with a torn left quadriceps muscle on April 15 in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Six weeks later, with the NBA Finals on deck, he says he’s “healed for the most part” and clearly is anxious to play.
Coach Steve Kerr says Boogie is pain-free but also that many other factors must be weighed before reaching a decision on when and how to use the most skilled center on the roster.
