Why Can't DeMarcus Cousins Get Back To The NBA?

There was a time when DeMarcus Cousins was considered as a possible PBA import. There were rumors that there is a high possibility that he will suit up with Converge. However, the report fizzled out probably because of how Cousins behaved during his time in the NBA.

Cousins was only 31 years old when he last played his NBA game. Sure, he suffered an ACL injury that caused him to miss the entire 2019-20 season and also tore his Achilles in January 2018. But even after he had gotten himself back to 100 percent health, he never got a chance to play in the NBA again and was not called by any teams from the PBA.

Whether the PBA order will have a legal leg to stand on, or whether it violates the constitutional right of individuals to plan their own destiny, will not be known until the regulation is contested in court.

Was Coach Mark Jackson Blackballed By The NBA?

Former NBA player Andre Iguodala spent two decades around NBA locker rooms, coached by some of the most respected names in the league. But when asked who stood out, he didn't hesitate.
