Kings fine ex-Cat Cousins
Kings rookie center DeMarcus Cousins has been fined an undisclosed amount for the locker-room altercation with teammate Donte Green following Saturday night's 99-97 loss to Oklahoma City, the team said Monday.Cousins, who played one season at the University of Kentucky, was not suspended, according to Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie, and he will be in uniform for Tuesday night's game in Oklahoma City. Greene was not disciplined.Cousins wasn't allowed to join the team for its charter flight to Phoenix following the altercation with Greene. Cousins was angry after the loss because Greene did not inbound the ball to him on the final possession. The exchange became heated in the locker room and Cousins and Greene had to be separated. Greene said after Saturday's loss that he saw Cousins on the final play but thought if he passed to him it might have led to a turnover. Greene passed instead to Tyreke Evans, who missed a three-point attempt with .08 seconds left.The Kings upset the Suns 113-108 on Sunday night without Cousins.
