Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins is out of action due to a torn Achilles that he suffered back in January. He appeared to be on the bench with his teammates in Los Angeles during their warm-up session.
The All-Star showed some incredible skills, hitting a circus shot from the bench. He later posted the video on his Instagram captioning “0Doubt.” boastfully.
Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis took no time to roast his teammate as he shortly later commented that Cousins took five tries to knock down the shot. But to remind you, Davis also paid a tribute to Cousins in February wearing his jersey in a match.
Bleacher Report NBA later posted the screenshot of Davis' comment on Cousins' clip with the caption ".@AntDavis23 has zero chill."

Following the shootarounds, the teammates gathered together to take the photo of the whole team at the Staples Center scorer’s table. Davis and Cousins both posted the photo on their social media account with the caption 'Squad' later that day.
Anthony Davis suffered an apparent rib injury same day in the second quarter of the Pelicans-Clippers game. He left the court with the injury after he collided with DeAndre Jordan.

The Western Conference's player of the month for February, Davis averaged 35.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.2 blocked shots over the month. Despite the injury of Cousins, New Orleans is playing their best as they registered 9 straight wins and are fourth in the west.
