Stephen Curry’s Former Teammate Vowing to End Longest Drought in American Sports Leaves NBA Fans in Splits: “He Just Wanna Get Back in the League”

The Sacramento Kings have not had the start to their season they would have been hoping for. The Kings have won only four out of the 10 games they have played so far and are currently sitting 11th on the Western Conference table. However, four-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins voiced his opinion on Twitter, as he made a statement of wishing to come back and help the Kings get back to the playoffs.

‘Boogie’ has had no connection with the Kings for the past five years but it seems he would love to help them get their first playoff appearance since the 2005/2006 season. Cousins is currently a free agent after signing for the Denver Nuggets mid-way through the 2021-22 season.

The former Denver Nuggets player is still without any team this season even after proving himself a solid backup for the Nuggets. DeMarcus Cousins provided a lot of experience when he came onto the court despite lacking consistent performances like in the past. Boogie averaged a score of 8.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists off the bench in a Nuggets jersey.

However, his response to a tweet from SacTown Sports 1140 host Carmichael Dave, shows his hunger to play in the league. The 32-year-old center would arguably be a perfect fit for the Kings.

Meanwhile, the desire to play for the Sacramento Kings surprised the fans. They voiced their opinions about his desire to return and try to help the Sacramento Kings return to the playoffs, which they last achieved in 2005/6. Notably, that remains the longest playoff drought for a team in the four major American sports leagues, and in NBA history.

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

The fans expressed various emotions through their comments. Many commended his confidence and wanted him to come to the Kings, while others wanted him to sign for their favorite team.

DeMarcus Cousins and his almost career-ending injuries

DeMarcus Cousins got traded from the Sacramento Kings to the New Orleans Pelicans midway through the 2017-18 season. In the Pelicans, he went on to show his class, but an injury took the limelight from him. He injured himself in January 2018 just before the final whistle of the game between the Rockets and the Kings. He got diagnosed with a torn left Achilles which ended his season.

Cousins further went into play for different teams after that, like the Houston Rockets, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Denver Nuggets. But was unable to display any significant performances in those teams.
