Cousins, 31, is currently a free agent after his third and final
10-day deal with the Nuggets ended Saturday. He's not eligible
for another with the Nuggets unless it's a hardship contract,
requiring a player to go into health and safety protocol.
In eight appearances with the Nuggets, Cousins is averaging 6.1
points and 6.3 rebounds in 13.1 minutes played per game.
Cousins started the season without a team but signed a
non-guaranteed contract with the Milwaukee Bucks in November. He
played in 17 games (five starts) for the Bucks, averaging 9.1
points and 5.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 60 percent on
all two-point shots and 81 percent from the free throw line.
The Bucks released him on Jan. 6. He inked his first 10-day deal
with Denver on Jan. 21.
The four-time All-Star -- who was selected fifth overall by the
Sacramento Kings in 2010 -- averages 19.9 points, 10.4 rebounds
and 3.1 assists for his career.
Nuggets coach Mike Malone coached Cousins for one season in
Sacramento, in 2013-14. Cousins shot a career-best 49.6 percent
from the floor that season.
