Former NBA All-Star DeMarcus Cousins was involved in a wild physical altercation with multiple fans before being doused with beer during his game in Puerto Rico on Monday (June 9).
Cousins, 34, who currently plays for Mets de Guaynabo in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional league, responded to a fan of the home team Vaqueros de Bayamon doing a crying gesture toward him by grabbing his private parts, which led to the fan giving him two middle fingers. The four-time NBA All-Star then grabbed the fan's arm, which led to his teammate splitting them apart.
Another fan in a pink shirt then stood up, swiped at and pointed toward Cousins, who appeared to yell while being held back by teammates.
Cousins was ejected from the game and seen yelling at several fans while exiting the court, including a man in a white tank top who gave him the middle finger. Cousins shoved at the fan before he poured his beer on the center as he tried to walk through the tunnel.
Cousins was selected by the Sacramento Kings at No. 5 overall in the 2010 NBA Draft and spent his first seven NBA seasons with the franchise before being traded midway through the 2015-16 season and had later stints with the Golden State Warriors (2018-19), Houston Rockets (2020-21), Los Angeles Clippers (2021), Milwaukee Bucks (2021-22) and Denver Nuggets (2022) before playing overseas. The former University of Kentucky All-American was selected as an All-Star four consecutive years between 2015 and 2018 and twice to the All-NBA Second Team in 2015 and 2016.
