NBA fans react to devastating DeMarcus Cousins injury report

NBA fans — particularly Los Angeles Lakers die-hards — were pumped to see a fully healthy DeMarcus Cousins play with LeBron James this season and re-assert he’s one of the best big men in the game.

But according to reports from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic’s Shams Charania, he suffered a knee injury on Thursday … and it’s looking likely that it’s an ACL tear in his knee.

Devastating.

Cousins, in the past couple of years, has suffered a ruptured Achilles and torn quad. All of his talent has been limited by those injuries.

Upon seeing the news breaking on Thursday, there was so much heartbreak from fans:

Boogie has torn his Achilles, quadriceps and ACL in the last 566 days. Awful.

Boogie can't catch a break, and apparently, neither can the Lakers https://t.co/MlEjfONeg7

The last time DeMarcus Cousins was healthy (playing for the Pelicans in 2017-18), he became the first player in NBA history to average more than:
25 points,
12 rebounds,
5 assists and
2 made 3-pointers per game in the same season.

Awful. Get well soon, Boogie.
