OAKLAND – The words carried plenty of significance, both because of DeMarcus Cousins’ experience with an Achilles injury and his close friendship with Washington Wizards guard John Wall.
Wall, who already had season-ending surgery on his left heel on Jan. 8, will be sidelined for about the next 12 months after rupturing his left Achilles tendon on Tuesday. The Wizards said that Wall slipped and fell at his home last week. So, Cousins spoke with Wall on Tuesday morning.
“It sucks. It’s unfortunate,” said Cousins who injured his left Achilles tendon last season with the New Orleans Pelicans.
