SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- Following his first full contact practice with the Golden State Warriors' G League affiliate, DeMarcus Cousins said he is not worried about how his surgically-repaired Achilles will hold up.
Cousins is nearing a return to the court for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles tendon on Jan. 26 while with the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man went through three six-to-seven-minute quarters of full contact five-on-five in a practice with the Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.
Cousins said his conditioning wasn't as bad as he thought but that his rhythm wasn't where it needed to be.
