Cousins appeal
The National Basketball Players Association is continuing its appeal on behalf of Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins, even after he served his suspension.
Cousins, 22, was suspended two games by the NBA for confronting San Antonio announcer Sean Elliott in a "hostile manner." The exchange followed the Spurs' 97-86 victory in Sacramento on Friday night.
"Based on the accounts we have heard to date of the incident, we believe that a two-game suspension is excessive and unwarranted," the union said.
Through his agent, Cousins expressed remorse over the incident.
