SACRAMENTO — This could have been a homecoming for DeMarcus Cousins. The Warriors’ newest All-Star could have sought revenge for the Kings franchise after trading him two seasons ago to the New Orleans Pelicans. Cousins could have sought affection by reconnecting with the fans he entertained off the court and the ones that he helped in the community.
Instead, the Warriors (19-10) enter Friday’s game against the Sacramento Kings (15-12) with Cousins still needing to rehab his left Achilles tendon. He has not had any reported setbacks after completing two full-court practices this week with the Warriors’ G-League team in Santa Cruz.
