SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sacramento rookie DeMarcus Cousins has been fined by the team for fighting with a teammate after a recent game and will rejoin the Kings after missing one game.
President of Basketball Operations Geoff Petrie announced the punishment Monday, saying there is no place for violence on or off the court in the NBA.
Cousins got into an altercation in the locker room with Donte Greene after a 99-97 home loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Cousins reportedly was upset that Greene had not passed him the ball for the final shot in the game. Greene passed the ball to Tyreke Evans, who missed a 3-point attempt.
