DeMarcus Cousins Gets Into Physical Altercation With Fans In Puerto Rico, Suspended For Remainder Of Season

DeMarcus Cousins has always had a reputation as a player with a temper, but on Monday, an altercation between Cousins and fans in Puerto Rico got out of hand.

Cousins, who played 11 years in the NBA, now plays for Mets de Guaynabo in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional. In a road game against Vaqueros de Bayamon, a fan appeared to make a crying motion toward Cousins.

Cousins walked over to the fan and grabbed his crotch, before grabbing the fan by the arm. The fan showed Cousins his middle finger before the two were separated.

Cousins was ejected from the game, but before making his way into the locker room, he pushed another fan who was taunting him. In response, that fan and others around him proceeded to throw food and drinks at Cousins.

Multiple police officers were eventually able to get Cousins into the locker room, breaking up the altercation.

The Vaqueros de Bayamon issued a statement following the incident.

“After the unfortunate incident that occurred during last night’s game against the Mets de Guaynabo, we offer our most sincere apologies to all our loyal fans.”

Cousins has not released a statement at this time.

The league has multiple well-known NBA players such as Danilo Gallinari and Javale McGee.

On Tuesday, the team announced that Cousins had been suspended for the remainder of teh season.
