NEW YORK (AFP) – NBA bad boy DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from the Golden State Warriors’ game on Friday while wearing his street clothes.
Cousins has yet to suit up for the Warriors in a game this season, but that isn’t stopping him from causing problems for NBA game officials.
He was ejected in the first quarter against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden for arguing with referee Scott Foster.
Following a timeout with 2:28 left in the first, it was announced Cousins had been slapped with a technical foul while sitting near the end of the Warriors’ bench. He was then thrown out of the game.
”Cousins took exception to the ruling and during the timeout he was ejected for one technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct,” Foster said.
Foster did not go into detail about what Cousins said to him.
Cousins was also seen arguing with Knicks player Enes Kanter.
Cousins is recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon. There is no specific timetable for his return.
