DeMarcus Cousins is heading back to Los Angeles to join the Los Angeles Clippers, after getting cut by the Houston Rockets a couple of weeks ago. The big man showed very interesting things with the Texans and that was enough to get the attention of several teams around the league.
According to Shams Charania, the player will sign with the Clips once he clears the NBA health and safety protocols.

The Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and even the Miami Heat were linked with the veteran center but he decided to take his talents to Los Angeles again, after being part of the Lakers last year. Boogie will bring a lot of good things to the Clippers that already traded for Rajon Rondo, another ex-Laker, and Cousins is another big addition to them.

He is former teammates of Rajon Rondo (New Orleans, Sacramento)/Patrick Patterson (Kentucky, Sacramento), played with Kawhi Leonard in past All-Star games, and adds depth to Clippers’ frontcourt. https://t.co/8GVp2HAS8E
