Four-time NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins has made an unexpected move by signing with Mongolian club Selenge Bodons for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. The news was first reported by Alberto De Roa of HoopsHype.
Cousins, 34, is taking his career to new territory after a storied tenure in the NBA. Known for his dominant post presence, the veteran big man averaged 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3 assists per game across 11 NBA seasons.
Since his last NBA appearance, Cousins has explored international opportunities, including stints in Puerto Rico, Taiwan, and Philippines. His latest move to Mongolia represents another chapter in his global basketball journey.
The Selenge Bodons, a team in the Mongolian National Basketball League, hope Cousins can elevate their performance with his vast experience and skill set. This move also positions Cousins as one of the most high-profile players to ever join the league.
Mongolian basketball has grown significantly in recent years, with more investment in player development and infrastructure. Cousins’ arrival could further boost the league’s visibility on the international stage.
