Report: Lakers, Cousins Have Mutual Interest in Possible New Deal This Summer

DeMarcus Cousins might end up suiting up in a Lakers uniform after all. Despite the Lakers officially waiving Cousins this past Sunday, the parties could be striking a new deal this summer.

According to The Athletic's Joe Vardon, both sides have "expressed interest" in pursuing a possible agreement this summer.

Cousins signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal in July but suffered a torn left ACL in August and has been rehabbing throughout the 2019–20 season. He is expected to continue rehabbing his injury at the Lakers' practice facility.
