What’s the latest on Demarcus Cousins?
SACRAMENTO – This could have been a homecoming for Demarcus Cousins. The Warriors’ newest Allstar could have sought revenge for the Kings franchise after trading him two seasons ago to the New Orleans Pelicans. Cousins could have sought affection by reconnecting with the fans he entertained off the court and the ones that he helped in the community.
Instead, the Warriors (19-10) enter Friday’s game against the Sacramento Kings (15-12) with Cousins still needing to rehab his left Achilles tendon. He has not had any reported setbacks after completing two full-court practices this week with the Warriors’ Gleague team in Santa Cruz. But given the severity of an Achilles injury, the Warriors are still pleading patience.

98 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown.
In the Seahawks’ Monday night win over the Vikings, Wagner controversially blocked a field goal to key their 21-7 win.
“He’s impacting the game so many ways,” Sherman said. “He’s blocking field goals. He returned a pick 98 yards – and he looked kind of fat and didn’t have a neck, but that’s a different story. The guys is all over the field, makes a ton of tackles.”
Offensive savvy. Add Mullens’ 414 yards against the Seahawks and his 332 total in Sunday’s win over the Broncos and those 746 yards are the most by a 49ers quarterback in consecutive games since Steve Young’s 761 yards in 1995.
“I understand that stats don’t matter, points do,” Mullens said.
Therefore, it should be surprise that plenty questions for the latest Warriors’ mailbag dives into Cousins’ recovery. Before we get to those questions in the latest Warriors mailbag, Bay Area News Group’s Logan Murdock has a cheat sheet on the Warriors-kings game on Friday. I dove into what the Warriors’ sense on what keeps their defense from becoming consistent, and the reasons go beyond Draymond Green sitting for 13 games this season. I explain why veterans Shaun Livingston and Cousins are encouraged with third-year center Damian Jones keeping a positive attitude about his season-ending injury. Lastly, I spoke with Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown in the latest Warriors HQ podcast about Draymond, KD, if he ever wants to be a head coach, living in the Bay Area and more.

Colusa plays for the consolation championship against Yreka today at 3:30 Now to the mailbag…. “Do you think that some of the Warriors’ issues stem from Durant not being more positive about wanting to stay with the team? I believe he is holding the team hostage and is screwing with their minds. Draymond questioned him during their blowup, but that went no where. I blame KD for the Warriors being off their game. What do think?” – bnky749@yahoo. com
Honestly, I could not disagree more. Sure, the Warriors may not like that Durant has not stated whether he wants to stay with the Warriors or not. After Durant won two NBA championships and two Finals MVP’S, I’d understand if his teammates wondered, ‘What’s there to decide?’ Draymond certainly wondered that to an extent, or else he wouldn’t have called Durant out along with a string of expletives.
