NextImg:DeMarcus Cousins banished by Puerto Rican team after ugly fan brawl

Demarcus Cousins Boogie-d himself right off the team.

Cousins was kicked off his Puerto Rican basketball team for the remainder of the season after his involvement in ugly physical altercations with fans Monday, the Baloncesto Superior Nacional league (BSN) announced Tuesday.

The four-time NBA All-Star had to be forcibly removed from the floor after grabbing the arm of one courtside fan, and he then made contact with another while leaving the floor.

BSN officials announced Cousins was fined $4,250 for a disqualifying foul, a technical foul and actions deemed to incite or provoke others.

The fine could increase to $10,000 if he fails to “show cause” why it shouldn’t be raised.

Cousins, who plays for the Mets de Guaynabo, found himself in the middle of these wild altercations with fans Monday during a road game.

He gestured with his genitals toward a fan mocking him and then flipping him off, before grabbing the fan’s arm as the scene escalated.

Cousins, a former All Star who was last in the NBA during the 2021-22 season with the Denver Nuggets, has been playing in various leagues worldwide since.

He’s made appearances in Mongolia, Puerto Rico, and Ice Cube’s Big3 League.

Cousins made All-NBA First Team in 2011 and was selected twice to the All-NBA Second Team (2015, 2016) after being selected No. 5 overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2010 NBA Draft.

He has a history of bizarre behavior, including getting two technical fouls in three minutes in an NBA game in 2021, which resulted in one of the quickest ejections you’ll ever see.
