NBA rumors: DeMarcus Cousins, ex-Warriors big, being waived by Lakers

It was always a long shot that DeMarcus Cousins was going to play this season, and it appears that whatever minuscule possibility there was has now been ruled out. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne reported Friday that the Los Angeles Lakers are waiving Cousins, citing league sources. The decision to waive Cousins comes shortly after The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that Markieff Morris, who was waived by the Detroit Pistons earlier in the day, plans to sign with the Lakers.
