DeMarcus Cousins Ejected from Puerto Rican League Due to Altercation with Spectators
Loose Cannon Cousins: Ex-NBA Star DeMarcus Cousins Kicked out of Puerto Rican Basketball League
DeMarcus Cousins, the ex-NBA player, has found himself in a sticky situation after a rowdy episode with the crowd while playing for the Guaynabo Mets. His latest stint in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) ended in a disgraceful manner due to his volatile behavior.
The drama unfolded during a game against the Vaqueros de Bayamón, with Cousins starting a heated argument with a spectator. Things got physical, and security had to intervene to prevent any further troubles ([1][3][4]). As a result of his unsportsmanlike conduct, Cousins was tossed out of the game, and the fans took their disapproval to another level, pelting him with drinks as he retreated to the tunnel ([4]).
The BSN discipline committee wasn't amused, and Cousins received a season-long suspension for his actions. To add insult to injury, the Mets cut ties with the rowdy big man following the backlash from the incident ([1][4]).
In a firm statement, the Mets expressed their disdain for any form of violence or provocation, reiterating that safety, respect, and sportsmanship are non-negotiable values ([4]).
DeMarcus Cousins' career spanned 11 seasons in the NBA, being drafted fifth overall in 2010. He distinguished himself as a four-time NBA All-Star and twice made the All-NBA Second Team ([2][4]).
