DeMarcus Cousins: (Illness) Upgraded To Probable

Cousins (illness) has been upgraded to probable to play Thursday against Milwaukee.

Analysis:

Barring a setback, it appears Cousins will return to the lineup after a 10-game absence brought on by a case of meningitis. He'll be welcomed back with open arms, as the Kings, who once looked like a dark horse playoff contender, have gone just 2-8 without Cousins. The big man has been practicing in full of late, and it's not clear whether interim coach Tyrone Corbin will place him on a minutes restriction.
