Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins suffered a possible knee injury during workouts this week in Las Vegas and will undergo further tests on Thursday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Cousins bumped knees with another player Monday and had to leave the court, a source told Wojnarowski. He's expected to consult with the Lakers' medical staff.

Cousins, who turned 29 on Tuesday, signed a one-year contract with the Lakers in July for just above the veteran's minimum. He was limited to 30 games in his lone season with the Golden State Warriors in 2018-19 due to a torn left quad muscle.

That followed a one-year layoff after Cousins ruptured his left Achilles tendon with the New Orleans Pelicans in January 2018.
