Is DeMarcus Cousins doing too much for the Kings?
Coach Dave Joerger suggested fatigue could have been a factor after Cousins had an off-night in Sunday’s 117-106 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The All-Star center had 17 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and seven turnovers.
“He’s exhausted,” Joerger said. “He’s been carrying the torch for a long time. It seems perhaps maybe longer than just this year. Is there a night off coming or something?”
Giving Cousins a night off might help him feel fresher. But can the Kings afford to do that as they try to end their 10-year playoff absence?
