Impact Cousins recently signed a second 10-day contract with the Nuggets, and it appears as though he'll be able to play through his foot injury against his former team. The 31-year-old has averaged 6.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game across four appearances since joining the Nuggets.

Signs new 10-day deal The Nuggets cut Cousins from his current hardship contract Friday, but they re-signed him to a new 10-day deal to fill their open roster spot, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports...

Impact According to Winge, Denver has enough players out of COVID-19 protocols that the hardship exemption used to sign Cousins to his initial contract is no longer available. However, the Nuggets still wanted to keep the veteran big man around, so they signed him to a new contract. In three appearances with Denver, Cousins has averaged 6.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 13.0 minutes per game.

Logs 12 minutes in Nuggets debut Cousins supplied two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Sunday's 117-111 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Cousins made his debut for the Nuggets in the win, hoping to latch on in a more permanent role. It's been a wild ride for the former superstar thus far this season, a campaign in which he has been unable to garner himself a long-term deal. While this was an encouraging performance, we are still nowhere near Cousins being a standard league asset.

Will be available Sunday Cousins will be available for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

Impact Cousins officially joined the Nuggets on Friday but did not play in that night's matchup against the Grizzlies. Coach Michael Malone said he anticipates the big man making his debut Sunday night, though it's unclear how much run he'll get behind Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets will be without Jeff Green (quad) and JaMychal Green (COVID-19 protocols), which could boost Cousins' prospects of playing meaningful minutes.
