Kings' DeMarcus Cousins will miss final two games

Sacramento Kings center, DeMarcus Cousins said that he will not play in the final two games of the season.

What It Means:

The Kings are tanking for draft positioning and to keep their pick, so it makes since to sit Cousins out in the last two meaningless games. Kosta Koufos and Willie Cauley-Stein will continue to pick up big minutes with Cousins out.

Cousins has a nERD of 1.4 this season, and he will finish the year averaging 26.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 34.6 minutes per game. The big man's Effective Field Goal Percentage is just 47.7 percent.
