The Los Angeles Lakers are waiving centre DeMarcus Cousins, according to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.
Earlier on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the Lakers plan to sign Markieff Morris, who agreed to a contract buyout with the Detroit Pistons.
Cousins signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Lakers in the offseason, but suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a summertime pickup game.
The 29-year-old appeared in 30 games last season with the Golden State Warriors, averaging 16.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, both totals well off his career numbers.
