Kings' DeMarcus Cousins: Will return to action Monday

Cousins (back) will return to action Monday versus Dallas, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports.

After exiting a Nov. 23 contest in overtime due to a stiff back, Cousins has missed three consecutive games due to the injury. Fortunately, Sacramento fans and fantasy owners can breath easy as Cousins will retake the court Monday against Dallas. The Kings were likely being cautious with their superstar center, in order to avoid a lingering injury, so he likely will not be on a minute restriction now that he is back.
