Sacramento Kings rookie DeMarcus Cousins got into yet another altercation this season, this time it was with teammate Donte Greene.
Multiple NBA sources report after Cousins didn't get the ball on the final possession of a 99-97 loss to Oklahoma City last night, DeMarcus was pissed at Greene for going with the top of the key, Tyreke Evans option. One source said Cousins and Green argued in the locker room, with Cousins telling everyone he wanted respect, regardless of his rookie status.
According to the Sacramento Bee's Kings blog, "Westphal said the final play wasn't drawn up specifically for Evans and that Donte Greene had options inbounding the ball. Evans became the best option because he was open and the Thunder took away DeMarcus Cousins in the post."
Apparently Cousins was not allowed to board the team plane to Phoenix last night.
Cousins has been experiencing a rookie wall like none other. He has already been fined by the team for a verbal confrontation with a training staff member and also was tossed out of a practice after talking back to Westphal.
If Cousins does not play Sunday it would be the first time Cousins missed a game for his behavior though, and quite frankly the Kings cannot afford to lose any talent. Cousins is averaging 13.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per game, and their current record sits at an almost horrid 12 - 38. Yeah, that's tastic.
Check Demarcus' post game reaction…doesn't seem too happy.
SCREAM @ ME!!!
