Cousins (DeMarcus Cousins) recently broke out into a serious conflict with fans in the Puerto Rico league
Cousins left the NBA to play in different leagues in various countries (regions), and last season he also came to Chinese Taipei to join the T1 Yongfeng Clouded Leopards, which caused a whirlwind at the time, and he also helped the team win the first championship in team history, and he recently played for Guainabo Metropolitano in the Puerto Rico league.
Cousins was yelled "crybaby" by the fans on the sidelines on the 10th, and he also grabbed his lower body to demonstrate and fight back, and the two sides almost fought, and when his cousin was expelled from the field, the fans on the sidelines kept shouting and even poured drinks on him, which made him lose control of his emotions and almost rushed to the stands to beat people.
Cousins was immediately suppressed by the staff and taken back to the break room, and the conflict did not escalate. The league today issued a heavy penalty that sees Cousins be suspended for a full season and is currently fined $4,250 for power-grabbing fouls, technical fouls, and incitement to violence on the court, which could be increased to $10,000 if he is unable to provide a reasonable explanation for his actions.
