There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding the 32-year-old's future and what his next move will be.

Now, it seems like Cousins could be on his way to going the Dwight Howard route.Media outlets on Wednesday (Nov. 23) reported that Cousins is preparing to move to Taiwan’s T1 League very soon, based on a tip from a sports reporter at UDN, Lee Yi-Shen and several anonymous T1 players.

There has still been no public confirmation from the T1 League or Cousins about his signing, and it is still unknown which team Cousins will join. However, a TVBS report suggests that it will be a team based in southern Taiwan, which would be either the Tainan TSG Ghosthawks, or the Kaohsiung Aquas.

The four-time NBA All-Star center was the most dominant in the NBA at his peak before a series of lower-body injuries in the latter part of his basketball career put him off the A-list. He last played for the Denver Nuggets in the 2021-22 NBA season, averaging 8.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Cousins became a free agent earlier this year after the Denver Nuggets did not renew his contract. He joined the NBA in 2010, after playing only one year at the University of Kentucky. He was picked 5th overall by the Sacramento Kings, where he played until 2017 when he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.
