EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) —
DeMarcus Cousins is facing
rehab from another major
injury, and the Los Ange-
les Lakers have endured
their first big problem of a
season with championship
expectations. Cousins was
diagnosed Thursday with
a torn ACL in his left knee,
an injury that could sideline
the six-time All-Star big man
for much — if not all — of
this coming season. Cous-
ins' agent, Jeff Schwartz of
Excel Sports Management,
said a timeline for surgery is
being discussed.
Cousins, who spent last
season with Golden State,
got hurt earlier this week
in a workout in Las Ve-
gas. The ACL tear comes Justin and Jason burn it up at BMW
