Kings center DeMarcus Cousins is banged up as the season winds to a close. Cousins has a calf strain, sore foot and thigh bruise he has dealt with over the last few weeks and coach George Karl is considering adding more rest time to his schedule with the season ending, reports ESPN.com.
"We talked when he commented after one game that his body was beat up," Karl said before the Kings faced the Grizzlies. "I said, 'Instead of thinking about shutting it down, let's try to find some days that you can get your body rested.' We might schedule a piece of our games and (rest Cousins) again."
Karl is planning to use the last few games to determine what roster moves to make this offseason.
"I think Cousins likes to play and I think he's doing it because he wants to play at a higher efficiency," Karl said. "It gives me an opportunity to experiment a little bit. At home, I'd like to go in and (let Cousins play) every game. But on the road, I might experiment a little bit more."
