Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has undergone additional evaluation as he tries to recover from a viral infection. The infection has kept him out of three games to date.

Dr. Jason Brayley of Kaiser Permanente, the team’s lead physician, has admitted Cousins to the hospital for treatment and rest. Per the doctors, Cousins’ condition is improving daily and they expect him to make a full recovery.

Cousins will not play this weekend versus Indiana and Orlando. Doctors anticipate Cousins being able to return to play next week.
