With all the postseason injuries suffered by the Warriors, DeMarcus Cousins has gone from being a luxury to a necessity for the team. But he apparently was close to giving up any hope of making it back for the NBA Finals.
“I was just ready to quit — like throw the towel in,” he told Rachel Nichols during an interview Wednesday on ESPN’s “The Jump.”
When Cousins sustained a torn left quadriceps in the first quarter of Game 2 of the Warriors’ first-round series against the Clippers, Golden State initially thought the big man was done for the year.
