Sacramento Kings' DeMarcus Cousins Not Named An All-Star Starter

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The NBA announced its All-Star Game starting rosters on Thursday, and DeMarcus Cousins was not on the list.

The Sacramento Kings faced the top vote-getter on Wednesday night as Kobe Bryant was named to the All-Star Game in his 20th and final season. Bryant has struggled in his farewell season, with the worst shooting performance for an All-Star starter more than 60 years.

Joining Bryant for the Western Conference will be:

  • Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)
  • Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)
  • Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)
  • Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs)

For the Eastern Conference, it will be:

  • LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers)
  • Paul George (Indiana Pacers)
  • Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks)
  • Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)
  • Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors)

Cousins finished 10th in the front court voting, while teammate Rudy Gay finished seventh.

Cousins' All-Star hopes are far from over. The NBA will announce its reserve rosters on Jan. 28.
