Ryan Blackburn: The Nuggets have not signed DeMarcus Cousins yet. He is not on the roster for tonight’s game against the New York Knicks. It can of course change going forward, but it will be very interesting to see how the Nuggets handle backup center. They’ve been rumored to want an upgrade. -via Twitter @NBABlackburn / February 8, 2022
