Basketball is a very popular sport, and it is the dream of many professional basketball players to enter the NBA and become a member of the league. However, as a professional basketball player, long-term intensive training and competition will inevitably lead to physical injury, but it is cruel in the league. If you can't recover for a long time and can't participate in the competition, you will face the crisis of elimination. Cousins, once the first center in the league, is now facing this crisis.

Cousins, the former first center

, was signed by the Lakers in 219 with a contract of $3.5 million a year. This cooperation made Cousins very happy, because he said on more than one occasion that he liked the Lakers team very much, and he hoped to be a member of the team and make contributions to the team. Unfortunately, Cousins hasn't represented the team in a game, but at this time he was injured. In order to return to the team as soon as possible, he has been actively cooperating with the treatment and trying to resume training. At the same time, other players in the team have helped him a lot, which makes him even more reluctant to leave the Lakers.

However, in February this year, he was announced to be laid off by the Lakers. Although he can still stay in the Lakers, he can't sit on the bench with the players, which seems to be almost abandoned. Cousins was the first center in the league before he was injured, and he was at the top inside level. In previous years, he performed very well, averaging 25.2 points and 12.9 rebounds, and he always got 4+2 data three times during the season. And he even scored 44 points, 24 rebounds and 1 assists in just 52 minutes.

abandoned due to injury

Count the honors he won, and he was selected as the first team of the best rookie in 1-11 seasons when he first entered the NBA, which gave him a good start in his career. In his next career, he has also been very smooth, winning the 14-year men's basketball World Cup championship and the 16-year Olympic men's basketball championship successfully, and being selected into the All-Star team for four times, with a good development momentum. However, such an excellent professional basketball player is now abandoned due to injury. In order to make room for signing Maurice, the Lakers cut Cousins, although it was reported at that time that the Lakers would re-sign Cousins.

But now the Lakers' management says it is more likely to renew Howard's contract than Cousins. With Howard's performance in the team becoming more and more prominent, the Lakers will not even consider Cousins, who has not attended the game for the Lakers and has been recovering. And Cousins will turn 3 this year, and his strength will gradually decline. Even if he recovers now, he is abandoned by the Lakers, and he still doesn't know where to go.
