A 10-day deal, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.<\/p>\n<p>Cousins \u200b\u200bhas been sitting on the couch this season (metaphorically speaking, at least, one report claims he &#8220;exercises six days a week.&#8221;) At 32, he&#8217;s 11 years old. A veteran, Cousins \u200b\u200bwas cut from the Lakers in 2020, but he was, in fact, playing for the Milwaukee Bucks last year and now being assisted by Lakers coach Durbin Hamm.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>Once upon a time, a four-time All-Star Game star, Cousins, of course, played for Houston in the 2020-21 season. It was really the last time he put up decent numbers as he averaged 9.6 points and his 7.6 in his 25 games with the Rockets. He rebounds in 20.2 minutes before being released.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want the latest news and insider info on the Houston Rockets? <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>click here<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Inside the Rockets<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>    facebook here<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Inside the Rockets <\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/InsideRocketsFN\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>on Twitter @InsideRocketsFN<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Want more Houston Rockets news?
