In the run-up to DeMarcus Cousins’ highly anticipated debut with the Warriors tonight against the Clippers in Los Angeles, Showtime has released a new clip from its documentary on the four-time NBA All-Star.
Titled “The Resurgence,” the work-in-progress film chronicles Cousins’ grueling rehabilitation from a torn Achilles tendon that he suffered nearly a year ago while playing for the New Orleans Pelicans. The brief clip reflects both his frustration and resolve during the long ordeal.
“I know what player I want to be and I’m not settling for an injury to determine who I am as a player,” he says at one point.
