Former NBA Superstar Announces Retirement
Former NBA superstar Demarcus Cousins has not played in the league since 2022, but he had not official declared retirement from the NBA until recently. Speaking with Cyro Asseo de Choch of HoopsHype, Cousins announced that he is officially retired from the NBA.
"I know I’ve had my time there," Cousins said. "You know, there was a point where I was trying to make that happen. But the place I’m in my life now, just with everything I’ve got going on, just outside of basketball, like I’m in a good place. So, like I said, I’m excited for what I have ahead and my future. You know, my 12 years in the league were a small chapter or chapters in my life. And, I’m ready to move on to the next and see what’s in store for me."
Cousins played for the LA Clippers briefly in the 2020-21 season, and was part of their first Western Conference Finals run in franchise history. Cousins also showed love to former Clippers star Blake Griffin in this interview, naming him as one of the toughest players he had to line up against in his NBA career.
In addition to his time with the Clippers, Cousins played for the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Denver Nuggets.
