Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins is expected to practice with the Santa Cruz Warriors Monday and Wednesday in an effort to ramp up the workload on his injured Achilles, league sources told the Bay Area News Group.
ESPN’s The Undefeated was first to report the news that Cousins will be sent down to Santa Cruz on Monday.
The plan for Cousins – who tore his Achilles in January – is to participate in five-on-five scrimmages with the G-League club Monday, then travel back to Oakland for the Warriors’ matchup against the Timberwolves at Oracle Arena. Cousins will travel back to Santa Cruz Wednesday for practice and attend the Warriors matchup Wednesday evening against the Raptors.
