DeMarcus Cousins is in. The Sacramento Kings star big man was announced Thursday by the NBA as a Western Conference All-Star reserve.

Cousins will also compete in the NBA’s Taco Bell Skills Challenge that takes place during All-Star weekend in New Orleans next month, CSN California has confirmed through a league source.

Cousins, 26, ranked sixth in the fan voting amongst Western Conference forwards, but he finished both fourth in player and media voting to finish just outside of the starting lineup. 

The seven-year veteran is currently fifth in the league in scoring, posting 28.0 points per game. Cousins is also 12th in the league in rebounding at 10.2 boards per game and he’s averaging a career-high 4.4 assists per game. 

This is the third straight All-Star bid for Cousins.
