WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 -- Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins gets closer to making his season debut as he is expected to practice with the team's G League side Santa Cruz Warriors, local media reported on Monday.

Cousins hasn't played since last January, when a terrible Achilles injury ended his eighth NBA season while playing for the New Orleans Pelicans last season.

The 28-year-old signed a one-year deal with Golden State this offseason but is yet to see the floor with his new team.

While he was cleared to practice in October, his recovery has been slow as he works his way up to game speed. The team said late November that the player would make his return shortly after Christmas.

When Cousins does return to the court, he'll give the Warriors an uNPRecedented fifth active All-Star. Enditem
