Notably, he was suspended two games by the league in November 2012 for confronting Spurs color commentator and former player Sean Elliott in a \u201chostile manner\u201d after Elliott said Cousins tried to \u201cbully\u201d Tim Duncan in a game. In December of that season, the Kings also suspended him indefinitely for \u201cunprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team.\u201d The suspension was lifted later that month.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>After being traded to the Pelicans just over halfway through the 2016-17 season, Cousins again flashed his enormous talents with a slew of games in which he put up monster numbers, but in January 2018 he tore his ACL, ending his season. <\/p>\n<p>Cousins then signed a mid-level exception to join the Warriors, who reached the NBA Finals in 2019, and was again plagued by injuries. After the season, he signed a one-year deal with the Lakers but tore his ACL during a preseason workout and missed all of 2019-20.<\/p>\n<p>Off the court troubles also arose in the summer of 2019 when an <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/08\/29\/demarcus-cousins-arrest-warrant-issued-over-alleged-death-threats\/\">arrest warrant was issued for Cousins<\/a> on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge after his ex-girlfriend and mother of their child alleged that he <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2019\/08\/27\/demarcus-cousins-threatened-to-kill-me-ex-girlfriend-christy-west\/\">threatened to kill her<\/a>. The charges were dropped three months later, however, and the case was dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>Cousins went on to sign with the Rockets in December 2020 but was released just over two moths later and brief stints with the Clippers, Bucks and Nuggets followed.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, the Basketball Network reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketballnetwork.net\/latest-news\/demarcus-cousins-is-traveling-to-join-dwight-howard-in-the-t1-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cousins is set to join Howard in the T1 League<\/a>, quoting the former fifth-overall pick out of Kentucky as saying, \u201cHi Dwight, I\u2019m coming!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DeMarcus Cousins is reportedly set to join Dwight Howard in Taiwan\u2019s T1 League, but the volatile big man is wondering why he still isn\u2019t in the NBA.
