The Rockets are fully guaranteeing the minimum-salary contract of veteran center DeMarcus Cousins for the 2020-21 season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Cousins missed most of the last two seasons with a series of severe leg injuries, which explains why he wasn’t able to command a larger contract in last offseason’s free agency.
But he has proven to be relatively durable with the Rockets, having played in 25 of the team’s 28 games
