Cousins fined $25K for throwing mouthpiece, entering stands

Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has been handed a $25,000 fine for entering the stands and throwing his mouthpiece during Saturday night's contest versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He was also retroactively assessed a technical, his second of the season.

The incident occurred after Cousins picked up his sixth foul of the evening late in the fourth quarter.

Cousins finished last season tied for the second-most technical fouls in the league (17) and incurred a one-game suspension after accumulating his 16th last March.

While his temper has got the best of him, Cousins has put up monster numbers to start the 2016-17 season, averaging 30.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.0 steals on 52.1 percent shooting.
