Cousins signed a 10-day contract with the Beer Leopards in late December. He signed to play for four home games on Jan. 20, 21, 27, and 28.
In his first action last Saturday against Tainan GH, Cousins posted 13 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists in a 119-90 win. He followed that a day later with a game-high 25 points, 17 rebounds, and four assists in the Beer Leopards' 105-85 win over N. Taipei CTBC. After the final two home games this weekend, the team and Cousins will determine whether or not to sign a longer-term deal.
Cousins is the latest former NBA star to take his talents to the Beer Leopards. Three-time Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard played the entire 2022-23 season with the team and earned multiple T1 League honors, including Most Valuable Import and All-Star Game MVP.
Cousins last played in the NBA in the 2021-22 season with the Denver Nuggets. He played in 31 games for Denver and averaged 8.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He played for the Guaynabo Mets of the Puerto Rican Baloncesto Superior Nacional league prior to coming to Taiwan.
Since moving to Taiwan, Cousins told CNA he's become a big fan of beef noodles and is getting more familiar with local culture.
"[Fans in Taiwan] are very welcoming, very hospitable," he said. "You make me feel like I'm right at home, you make this transition very very easy for me."
