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.
