Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins underwent additional evaluation in a hospital Tuesday night as he continues to recover from a viral infection.

The team announced Wednesday that team physicians, led by Dr. Jason Brayley of Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento, admitted DeMarcus to the hospital for treatment and rest. The Kings said his condition is improving daily and a full recovery is anticipated.

Cousins will not be in uniform this weekend, with a return to competition expected by next week.

Cousins missed his third consecutive game on Tuesday night. He leads Sacramento in scoring (23.5 points per game), rebounding (12.6 per game), blocks (23) and steals (17).
