NBA Injury Report Week 31: Kevin Durant still missing for the Warriors, Damian Lillard playing through the pain barrier and more

#3. DeMarcus Cousins - Quadriceps - Could return for finals

Cousins' time in Golden State has been impacted by injuries

DeMarcus Cousins suffered a torn quad against the LA Clippers during the first round of the playoffs, and his season appeared to be over. However, Cousins recovery has progressed faster than expected, and Steve Kerr has offered a promising update on his status:

He’s starting to do some work on the floor, so he’s not exactly close to playing in a game but he’s making good strides with his rehab and getting out on the court and starting to do some conditioning things. We’ll see where that goes.

Back on May 11th, Marc Stein of the New York Times reported that Cousins 'was on course to make a return to the Warriors' active roster during the Western Conference finals'; although with the series currently at 3-0, a return in the Finals now appears more likely.
