DeMarcus Cousins questionable vs. Timberwolves with lower back strain

The Sacramento Kings have finally proven that they can pull out a victory without All-Star big man DeMarcus Cousins in the lineup. They may have to do so again on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The 25-year-old is questionable with a lower back strain, upgraded from doubtful Friday evening.

Sacramento won its first game in six tries with "Boogie" on the sidelines Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, 129-118.

Cousins is averaging 27.9 points on 45 percent shooting from the field and 38.1 percent from 3-point range, along with 11.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 rejections in 10 appearances for the Kings.
