DeMarcus Cousins suffered a truly awful injury this summer when he tore the ACL in his left knee. Luckily his offseason hasn’t been full of all negative events.
Cousins and longtime girlfriend Morgan Lang got married during a wedding ceremony and reception at The St. Regis Atlanta on Saturday, according to People.
Cousins’ groomsmen included his brother and former Kentucky teammates John Wall and Eric Bledsoe. Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston were among the Golden State Warriors teammates in attendance. New Lakers teammates Anthony Davis and Quinn Cook, and former Lakers star Matt Barnes also attended, People reports.
Despite his knee injury — not to mention his recent torn left Achilles and torn left quad muscle — Cousins was still dancing and enjoying himself at the reception, showing life hasn’t kept him down.
Cousins was set for a major free agent contract until the torn Achilles injury in early 2018. He has ended up taking contracts for just $9 million total since then. Pre-injury, he would have been expected to make at least double that per season on a long-term deal.
Neither Cousins nor the Lakers have said whether the center will miss the upcoming season, but his rehab and recovery will likely last most of the regular season.
