Steve Kerr said the Warriors aren't expecting injured center DeMarcus Cousins to return in the NBA playoffs.
"He will not need surgery," Kerr told reporters Wednesday in Oakland. "DeMarcus, most likely, will not be back during the playoffs. You're probably looking at a couple months' recovery, so it's unlikely. But [Warriors director of sports medicine and performance Rick Celebrini] told me that there are occasions where that injury heals faster. So we're leaving the door open, obviously."
Cousins tore his left quadriceps minutes into a Game 2 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
