Nuggets cut DeMarcus Cousins to re-sign him

Katy Winge: Some Nuggets news today: Denver has cut DeMarcus Cousins, only to re-sign him to a new 10-day contract today to fill the open roster spot for the Nuggets. Since the Nuggets have enough players cleared of health and safety protocol, that exemption is no longer available.

Re. JaMychal Green, Malone says he’s out of the re-conditioning phase from COVID. Said both Zeke and DeMarcus have played well but he’ll look to get him in when he can, he said. – 6:37 PM Katy Winge @katywinge

DeMarcus Cousins ejected in Brooklyn after his second technical foul. He’s picked up three technicals in three games with Denver. – 9:58 PM Adam Mares @Adam_Mares
3 techs on Boogie in 3 games with the Nuggets. It has NOT been a good first week for Boogie. – 9:58 PM Michael Singer @msinger

DeMarcus Cousins just got ejected. – 9:57 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
For all intents and purposes, the bench has done its job. The Boogie + starters lineup wasn’t great, but the bench lineup was good. – 8:52 PM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Game-high 11 first-half points for DeMarcus Cousins. Shot 4-10 from the field, 2-3 from distance, hauled in 5 rebounds (3 offensive). It wasn’t pretty but Denver will gladly take it. It’s offense, from the bench. – 8:52 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Boogie Cousins is up to 10 points and 4 rebounds in 8 minutes off the bench. – 8:45 PM Michael Singer @msinger
DeMarcus Cousins now up to a *game-high* 10 points. – 8:45 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
I remember when Boogie used to dunk everything, man, now he’s missing layups at the rim – 8:34 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed

Worried about Boogie. – 8:31 PM Michael Singer @msinger
Boogie checks in for Nikola Jokic at the 5:22 mark, far earlier than usual. Jokic has two fouls. – 8:27 PM Harrison Wind @HarrisonWind
Davon Reed’s one turnover against the Pistons broke his streak of nine-straight games and 142 minutes played without a turnover. He has just five turnovers in 319 minutes this season, which is less than the seven DeMarcus Cousins has in two games. Mr. Dependable. – 6:18 PM Jeff Stotts @InStreetClothes
Dallas sports fans are all too familiar w/ THJ’s injury. Former Mavs Roddy B & Dominique Jones sustained 5th metatarsal fractures during the 2010-11 season. Cowboys players to sustain the injury include Dez Bryant & DeMarcus Lawrence, who missed 11 games earlier this year. – 11:58 PM Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
What a finish by Cade. Got his shoulder right into Boogie. He’s three points shy of a new career-high – 9:10 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
DeMarcus Cousins just committed his fifth turnover in eight minutes. – 9:02 PM Michael Singer @msinger
After Boogie’s putback layup forced a Pistons TO, entire bench stood up and flexed. And as Boogie walked to the bench, Jokic grabbed Boogie to show him something he saw with the defense. – 7:46 PM James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Boogie got away with a blatant hook there on Lyles – 7:45 PM Michael Singer @msinger
Malone calls TO 25 seconds into the second quarter after Frank Jackson scores on a layup.
Lineup was Bones/Facu/Bryn/DeMarcus/ Zeke. – 7:39 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
📅 On this day in 2016, the @Sacramento Kings DeMarcus Cousins scored a career-high 56 points in a loss to the Hornets.
