Four days after his season was ended by a torn left Achilles in the final seconds of a victory over the Rockets with a season-ending injury, New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins stated the obvious by stating "No lie this shit sucks!" in a post he shared across his social media platforms.
No lie this shit sucks! I’ve never experienced an injury of this magnitude in my life, but with that being said nothing I’ve earned has ever come easy for me either! I’ve only gotten it the hard way and I don’t expect things to change for me now. I’m just built that way and I’ll overcome this as well and continue to prove. I want to thank everyone for all the love, prayers, and positive energy sent my way. You are greatly appreciated! I’m also asking my supporters to join me on this journey back to playing the game I love. See you soon... #TheResurgence
Despite the dire circumstances, Boogie does his best to stay positive. Considering he was in the midst of a career year, Cousins still managed to put his best foot forward (pun not intended).
Prior to his injury, the four-time All-Star was on a mission to get his team in the playoffs, with nightly averages of 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks. He and teammate Anthony Davis formed one of the deadliest duos in the entire NBA. But with Boogie gone, the once surging Pelicans are suddenly left surveying the wreckage of one of the most disappointing basketball injuries in recent memory.
