We know DeMarcus Cousinsisn't afraid to smack someone if he feels he's been dealt some kind of injustice, and evidently, he's surrounded himself with guys who won't hesitate to do the same.
Midway through the third quarter of Tuesday night's game between the Kings and the Rockets, Jason Terry was trailing a play that resulted in a dunk from Ben McLemore, and ended up running into the first row of fans sitting courtside along the baseline.
One of those "fans" took a swipe at Terry as he tried to separate himself, and it turned out to be a member of Cousins' crew that initiated the altercation. ESPN has some additional details:
Andrew Rogers, Cousins' manager, slapped at Terry's arm. Terry stopped, turned around and started to step toward Rogers.
The Kings have been an ongoing mess as an organization ever since last summer, with the team's latest incident involving Rajon Rondospewing homophobic slurs at a referee who is gay. The last thing they need is dudes in their star player's entourage getting into it with opposing players, but considering all that we've seen from Cousins during his time in Sacramento, the fact that someone close to him was the one involved here hardly comes as any surprise.
