Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins will not play Friday against the Phoenix Suns due to a stomach flu, reports James Ham of Cowbell Kingdom.
A case of viral meningitis forced Cousins to miss 10 games earlier this season, over which time the Kings won just two games.
Cousins is the linchpin that gives the Kings' stability on both ends of the floor. He is the Kings' only rim protector and their only true low post threat.
Cousins is averaging 23.9 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, good for a PER of 27.9.
