DeMarcus Cousins has steadily increased his value to the Clippers over the past three weeks. After playing in three of the team’s six games during his first 10-day contract, Cousins has played in all five games of his second 10-day, which is set to expire today.
There’s a good chance we haven’t seen the last of Cousins, though. The Clippers would have to sign him for the rest of the season to retain him, but his performance thus far, combined with the obvious affection his teammates have for Cousins, suggests that should be a done deal.
“Another great, great locker room guy for us,” Reggie Jackson said about Cousins after the team’s win over Houston.
