Warriors’ center DeMarcus Cousins is targeting a return from his torn Achilles sometime after Christmas, sources tell the Bay Area News Group.
The determination was made during a meeting on Friday, Nov. 23 between Cousins and Golden State’s training staff, including head trainer Rick Celebrini, according to sources. Before the meeting, Cousins was hoping to join the lineup during the team’s upcoming five-game road trip, according to sources. Nonetheless, there have been no setbacks in his recovery process and the decision to push his target date back was made so Cousins can regain his conditioning and enter the lineup at peak form, according to a source.
