DeMarcus Cousins Leaves Nike, Joins PUMA

Warriors big man DeMarcus Cousins has exited his deal with to join ever-growing list of NBA talent.

Cousins signed a ‘lucrative’ contract with PUMA earlier this month, triggering a 10-day clause which Nike opted not to match. It’s a huge get for PUMA, whose long, 20-year hiatus from the NBA has ended in a flurry of signing from some of the NBA’s hottest talent, including #1 and #2 overall draft picks DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley III.

Four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins is expected back on court midway through the season, the Warriors center suffering an achilles injury back in January.
