The Sacramento Kings state they are looking into superstar center DeMarcus Cousins’ interactions with local beat reporters, specifically Andy Furillo of the Sacramento Bee.
“We are committed to being open and transparent, and any hint of media censorship is unacceptable,” Kings management said in a statement, according to Terhaar. “There is an ongoing review into this matter, and we will take the appropriate steps immediately upon its conclusion.”
Cousins was upset over a piece Furillo wrote last weekend, in which he suggested Cousins and teammate Matt Barnes find “better places to hang out.”
The article also touched on an incident from back in May involving Cousins and his brother at a Tampa club, which is what set Cousins off.
“We’re going to have some real f—ing issues,” he told Furillo in the Kings’ locker room, while pointing angrily in his face. “Don’t ever mention my brother again. You don’t know my f—ing brother. F—ing coward. You say whatever the f— you wanna say about me, but don’t mention my motherf—ing family.”
The kings are looking more into these events.
