Kings Optimistic DeMarcus Cousins' Hip Flexor Injury Not Serious

[RealGM Wiretap]

DeMarcus Cousins left the Sacramento Kings' win on Wednesday over the New York Knicks with a strained left hip flexor.

“I don’t think it’s anything serious,” Mike Malone said. “I think it’s a hip flexor strain but we’ll get a much better idea what it is once I speak with (trainer) Pete (Youngman) and over the break I’m sure he’ll get the necessary treatment.”

Cousins was a strong All-Star candidate with one of the NBA's best player efficiency rating's this season, but wasn't selected.

TANK NATION ASSEMBLE!!! Kings need to lose more to be worst in the west, lakers are on their tail.

They haven't shown they can win a single game this season without him, so if he's out for any length of time could get ugly.

Demarcus being injured is a curse and a blessing. It's gives our young guys more XP but its tough losing with our big man though. If we had Kenny Tran, we be unstoppable.

[your boy]

Demarcus is a MONSTER and should be on the All star team.
