Doug Gottlieb: âDeMarcus Cousins is BUYERâS BEWARE. Cousins has now suffered in sequential order a torn Achilles tendon, a ruptured quad muscle, and now a torn ACL⌠Kevin Durant has broken his foot, has had multiple calf injuries, and has now torn his Achilles tendon. Whatâs next to go?? Ask any kinesiologist and they would have said âoh yea, you tore your ACL? You probably had an imbalance and thatâs why you tore your Achilles tendon, then they fixed the Achilles and thatâs so well put together that it puts pressure on other parts of your body, and thatâs why the quad went and thatâs why the ACL went.'... Guys donât just suddenly get hurt; they have an injury history when they tear their Achilles tendon. Durant is on the wrong side of 30, heâs coming off a huge Achilles tendon tear, we donât know if heâll be back at that same form, and even if he gets back to that same form, will he be able to stay healthy when so many others ARENâT after suffering the same injury?â (FULL Audio at Bottom of Page).
