Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins is slowly inching his back onto the court. And by slowly, I mean he’s absolutely destroying his future Hall-of-Fame teammate with vicious one-on-one dunks.

While Cousins exact return date is still up in the air, he sure does look comfortable and mobile as he yams all over the nine-time All-Star.

The Warriors were ending practice with some one-on-one drills with an assistant coach feeding in passes to Cousins. After destroying Durant, Cousins appropriately called “game!” as his teammate’s lifeless body melted into the hardwood.

“He beat me today,” Durant said. “He beat me today, but I live to fight another day.”

Here are some more clips of their practice matchup.

This back-and-forth is too good ??

If you aren’t familiar, Cousins is currently in the process of recovering from a torn Achilles he suffered last season as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans. After signing a tiny deal with the Warriors, Cousins is expected to return sometime in the new year and will likely make Golden State even more dominant than they already are.

The battle didn’t end after the dunk, though, as the two continued to go back and forth on social media.
