DeMarcus Cousins tore his left quad during the Golden State Warriors' first-round series against the LA Clippers, and it was widely believed that he would miss the remainder of the postseason.

However, head coach Steve Kerr earlier this week spoke about the possibility that his All-Star center could still return, and Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that Cousins should return for the NBA Finals:
