Kings' DeMarcus Cousins: Has shed 20 pounds this offseason

Cousins has lost upwards of 20 pounds this offseason, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis:

Cousins has reportedly spent the past two and a half months dedicating himself to hot yoga in an effort to get himself in shape for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Rio, where he'll suit up for the United States team. The big man has already indicated he feels more mobile as a result of the weight loss, which could prove beneficial as he enters the 2016-17 season. Cousins is coming off a career-best campaign, during which he averaged 26.9 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers across 34.5 minutes per game.
