DeMarcus Cousins made his debut for the Clippers finishing with seven points, four rebounds and two assists in seven minutes.<\/p>\n

Cousins penned a ten-day deal with the Clippers.<\/p>\n

Per ESPN,<\/a> “He was great,” said Paul George, who hit six 3-pointers and finished with 36 points. “He’s an All-Star. He’s still one of the most skilled bigs in the league. He can finish, he rebounds. I thought you saw a little bit of everything from him tonight, and he showed he’s still got a lot left to give.”<\/p>\n

After missing all of last season, Cousins returned and played in 25 games with the Houston Rockets this season before he was released. It has been a grueling and long road back for Cousins.<\/p>\n

“I’ve put an incredible amount of work to get to this place,” Cousins said. “I feel great, my body feels great. I’m in probably the best shape I’ve been in my entire career. At this point, it’s about going out there and just putting everything together and just trying to continue to show that I’m healthy and I’m here to play this game at a high level.<\/p>\n

“I understand the situation that I’m in, whatever opportunity is given to me, I plan on just taking full advantage of it, just controlling what I can control.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
