The Athletic's Shams Charania is reporting that the Rockets and DeMarcus Cousins are planning to part ways in the next few days. With Christian Wood returning, the Rockets are looking to play some younger players and use smaller lineups.
Cousins has showed he's healthy and impactful this season. He's averaged 9.4 points and 7.6 rebounds in 25 games. Sources have expressed positive feedback about Cousins' professionalism and play during his time in Houston. https://t.co/jWLQpXsrwS — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 20, 2021
