Ex-Laker DeMarcus Cousins Reveals He's Joined NRG Esports amid Injury Rehab

DeMarcus Cousins is getting into esports.

The veteran NBA player announced on Twitter Saturday that he's joining the gaming group NRG:

Cousins has been rehabbing from a torn ACL he suffered ahead of the 2019-20 season after signing with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was waived in February.

Injuries have been a consistent problem for the center, who has played just 78 games in the last three seasons combined. It seems this time off has given him extra chances to work on a side project in video games.

With the NBA season also suspended due to coronavirus, several players have moved onto esports.
