More players might reconsider playing international ball during the offseason if this keeps happening.
In the wake of the gruesome Paul George injury, DeMarcus Cousins appears to have injured his knee during a Team USA Basketball practice in Chicago.
DeMarcus Cousins went down. Walking gingerly off the floor with trainers.

Team USA staff talking to Cousins now. He's sitting up on training table with an ice pack on his right knee.

Cousins has had a history of minor back and knee injuries which kept him sidelined for the Kings a few games last season. The severity of his injury is currently unknown but the fact that he was able to walk off the court is always a promising sign.
