Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has been named Western Conference Player of the Week for games played Monday, Jan. 6, through Sunday, Jan. 12, the NBA announced Monday.
The Kings were 3-0 over that span, their longest winning streak of the season as the Kings beat Portland, Orlando and Cleveland.
Cousins was seventh in the conference in scoring, averaging 25 points. He was second in rebounding with 12.7 per game and eighth in minutes per game at 37.2 per game.
It’s the first time Cousins has won the honor. New York’s Carmelo Anthony was Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
