Updated from San Juan, Puerto Rico – A shocking incident unfolded at Puerto Rico’s professional basketball league (Baloncesto Superior Nacional) when former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from a game and nearly clashed violently with local fans.

 

Explosive Moment on the Court

The incident occurred in the final quarter of a game between Cousins’ team, Mets de Guaynabo, and Vaqueros de Bayamón. Tensions escalated when a courtside fan taunted Cousins by mock-crying, provoking an immediate reaction. The 34-year-old player engaged in a heated verbal altercation with the fan, resulting in his immediate ejection from the game.

 

Chaos in the Tunnel

The situation took a more troubling turn as Cousins exited the court. Several fans threw drinks at him, enraging the former NBA All-Star, who attempted to charge into the stands to confront them. Video footage captured the scene, showing four large men struggling to restrain Cousins, with one moment where he nearly broke free.

Comparisons to “Malice at the Palace”

Basketball analysts have likened the incident to the infamous 2004 “Malice at the Palace” brawl, where a near-riot erupted between players and hundreds of fans. The atmosphere in Puerto Rico was described as “more intense and hostile than anything Cousins experienced during his 11 NBA seasons.”

League’s Response

The Baloncesto Superior Nacional organizers are reviewing the incident and considering severe disciplinary measures, including potential suspension and substantial fines. Cousins’ provocative gestures toward the crowd have further escalated the severity of the situation, raising questions about security at Puerto Rican arenas.

From the NBA to Puerto Rico

Cousins, who last played in the NBA for the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021-22 season, joined the Guaynabo Mets in April 2023. The four-time NBA All-Star is aiming to maintain his form and potentially return to the NBA in the future.

Impact on Personal Reputation

This incident once again highlights Cousins’ struggles with emotional control, a recurring issue throughout his NBA career. While the behavior of the Puerto Rican fans was deemed unacceptable, Cousins’ reaction has sparked questions about his professionalism and ability to adapt to the local basketball culture.

Uncertain Future

Cousins and the Guaynabo Mets are awaiting an official decision from the league regarding disciplinary actions. This incident could not only affect the current season but also impact Cousins’ prospects of returning to the NBA or competing in other international leagues.
