The best season of DeMarcus Cousins’ career abruptly ended last night with less than ten seconds remaining in the game.
The injury to his left Achilles tendon comes just four days after Boogie made history by becoming just the fifth player to ever post 40/20/10. After almost one complete year with Anthony Davis, New Orleans was finally clicking, ranked sixth in the West and poised to send the All-Star starter to the playoffs for the first time.
Cousins’ future is unclear. It appeared that he would finish his best season of his career in the playoffs.
