Golden State coach Steve Kerr and the rest of the Warriors reassured Cousins it wasn't just about Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Making his Warriors debut after being sidelined for nearly a year, the big man called Boogie scored 14 points before fouling out of a 112-94 victory. After missing his first shot, Cousins announced his presence with a one-handed slam off Kevin Durant's bounce pass for the Warriors' first basket. "We're not going to drink our own Kool-Aid in terms of understanding that just because he's back, it's a totally different team," Curry said. Cousins played his first game since Jan. 26, 2018, when he ruptured his left Achilles tendon with New Orleans.
