I'm so bummed about this, people never come back the same after an Achilles. I hope his career comes back to the amazing place it is now...

Im so sad about this too. I even woke up this morning just not wanting it to be true. He seemed like he was in a better place mentally than he had ever been, and he was playing such great basketball. I wish him the best but like you said its a hard injury to come back from.
I know!! he finally had a top level talent in Anthony Davis to play beside. They were both starting to gel, and they need each other to succeed on this team. Man, I'm a Laker fan and I just think of how Kobe never was the same on a consistent basis after the Achilles injury. Demarcus is younger so I hope that helps him come back to playing at the high level he's at
Although Achilles injuries are tough to recover from, Cousins should not be as affected as much as Kobe was.
Kobe relied on his explosiveness which is what players usually lack after this injury. Cousins can use his body and play below the rim since he doesn’t rely on his first step or quick-twitch movements.
True I didn't consider that. He might be a bit slower but hopefully he comes back the 100% in due time
