There is a new DeMarcus Cousins. The big man said that he lost almost 10kg (20 pounds) since the end of the NBA regular season.
Per Sacramento Bee, Cousins, who has lost about 20 pounds since the end of the season, appears ready to lead Team USA to a gold medal in Rio de Janeiro and end the Kings’ 10-year playoff drought.
“I’m a bit lighter than I’ve been (in) any of my previous years,” he said. “The pace of the of the game has picked up a lot, and I’ve got to be able to fit in. Also, my role changes a lot for Team USA. ... I’m also trying to prepare my body for that.”
Cousins also hopes being lighter will help prevent injuries. He was bothered last season by tendinitis in both feet.
“That’s also part of it,” he said. “A lot less pressure on my feet. It’s a new type of working out.”
