It’s very mixed news for DeMarcus Cousins on the injury front.
Cousins will not need surgery on his torn quad, according to Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, and is unlikely to return this season. The team is, however, holding out hope in the event of a fast heal.

It doesn’t sound like anyone should be holding their breath, especially given a non-contact injury. The reality is that even if Cousins does experience a very quick recovery, it probably won’t be until the NBA Finals that we see him again. The Warriors might as well just get used to playing without him.
