DeMarcus Cousins suffered a quad tear during the opening round of the 20182019 NBA playoffs with the Golden State Warriors. This is different than the injury we saw Victor Oladipo suffer earlier in the year and he is going to be out indefinitely while he rehabs the strained muscle.

This video is your ULTIMATE GUIDE to this type of an injury! Thanks as always for watching!
