Throughout his NBA career, DeMarcus Cousins has been recognized as one of the most talented centers in the league. His ability to score either by facing or having his back to the basket makes him a nightmare matchup for opposing coaches night in and night out. However, his head coach, Dave Joerger, believes that there’s […]

The Sacramento Kings have been involved in trade rumors going back to the offseason. Stars like Rudy Gay and centerpiece DeMarcus Cousins have been the talk of the league, as other teams prepare packages of assets to offer in exchange for one of the two-high scoring stalwarts. Rumors have intensified lately, with the Kings struggling […]

Trade rumors are  beginning to swirl around DeMarcus Cousins again, but he won’t entertain them.

The Sacramento Kings‘ DeMarcus Cousins is one of the loudest mouths on and off the court, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that he talked trash to his teammates in practice.

The first scheduled game for Wednesday night between the Sacramento Kings and the Philadelphia 76ers was scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. EST, but a big problem with a wet floor had prevented both teams from taking the floor for warm ups. By 7:30 p.m. EST, reports of the game being cancelled surfaced, and […]

In a very rare turn of events, the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia suddenly became a hazardous playing court. Apparently, the floor at the 76ers’ home had wet spots caused by “irregularly high exterior temperatures”. Hearing condensation issues on the floor in Philly due to irregularly high exterior temperatures. Game is in question. Will know […]

Forming super teams is all the rage these days in the NBA. DeMarcus Cousins has thought about the kind of super team he could form. Unsurprisingly, it includes some of his former college teammates at Kentucky. Via Locked on Wizards: “Do we ever talk about playing with one another? Is that your question? It’s come […]

Sacramento Kings forward Matt Barnes had his night cut short in the third quarter of Sunday night’s game after he whacked Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Sean Kilpatrick as he went up for a layup. The foul was declared a Flagrant 2, and Barnes shortly headed to the showers after the ill-advised play. Check it out. […]

The third quarter between the Sacramento Kings and the home team, Brooklyn Nets, turned into a one-sided affair as the visitors dominated the game and built a double digit lead that they never relinquished until the final buzzer. Everything was working for them and they were able to score 34 points in the quarter. Three of […]

Omri Casspi’s relationship with the Sacramento Kings has been going downhill for awhile. Casspi hasn’t spoken with head coach Dave Joerger in over two months and he’s essentially been out of the rotation, appearing in just eight games so far this season. Casspi’s future with the team seems bleak and now it appears the Kings […]

It was only fitting that a fast-paced, volume-shooting Mike D’Antoni-led team like the Houston Rockets would hoist an NBA-record 50 three-pointers in a game Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. The Rockets made 21 of them (42 percent for the game) as super-sub Eric Gordon led the charge, attempting 12 in 29 minutes, while “points […]

DeMarcus Cousins’ name has been in trade rumors for some time now. There has always been an overall feeling in general that the fit for Cousins in Sacramento is not perfect. Yet Boogie continues to put up huge numbers and has never publicly asked to be traded. Still, a move feels inevitable. But one thing […]

DeMarcus Cousins may have a somewhat notorious image on the court, but off of it, he has a kind heart and has proven that he loves the people of the city for which he plays. Proof of this is how much he has given back to help the less fortunate the past couple of years, and […]

Despite already having played 14 games this season, excluding the series of exhibition games last month, it is quite strange finding out that Sacramento Kings‘ wingman Omri Casspi and his head coach, Dave Joerger, have not talked for more than a month now. That is certainly the case according to the 28-year-old Israeli international, when he spoke […]

The relationship between DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings‘ management has been shaky to say the least over the past couple of years. Many believe that it’s only a matter of time before the team decides to trade the talented center – some say it’s coming as soon as December – and now the chatter is starting […]

The Toronto Raptors have officially filed a protest with the league office over a timekeeping error in Sunday’s three-point loss to the Sacramento Kings, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein. After a deflection by Kings center DeMarcus Cousins from an out-of-bounds play, Raptors swingman Terrence Ross beat the buzzer with a three-pointer, releasing the shot with 0.5 […]

After Sunday’s game between the Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors ended with complete controversy, the NBA has responded. Terrence Ross‘ game-tying three-pointer at the buzzer was waived off after a review was made following a timekeeping error. The referees’ decision left Raptors’ players, fans, and coaches (especially head coach Dwane Casey) livid as another loss […]

During the first half of the game between the Sacramento Kings and Toronto Raptors on Sunday night, Rudy Gay was near the baseline when he saw a stray shoe on the floor. He quickly grabbed it and threw to the stands. It was a good gesture from him not to leave it there so no […]

When Terrence Ross drilled a long three-pointer to beat the buzzer in regulation on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings, many believed the game has been sent to overtime, including the person responsible for the Toronto Raptors‘ Twitter account. However, the game ended in bizarre fashion as the referees had to review the last play and saw […]

After seeing his team lose their fourth straight game at the hands of the L.A. Clippers on Friday, Sacramento Kings head coach Dave Joerger has made it clear that he’s seen enough and will look to make some changes to his lineup. The Kings’ bench tactician hinted on playing small-ball once again and having his All-Star, DeMarcus […]

Rap artist Kanye West had a concert in Sacramento on Saturday where 13,000 fans attended and looked forward to hearing him perform his hits live. However, a bizarre turn of events happened as after he made a rant against Beyonce, Jay Z and even Hillary Clinton. The 39-year-old producer and songwriter left the stage and […]

The Sacramento Kings have been mired in trade rumors through the start of the regular season, but after Friday night’s 121-115 discouraging loss against the L.A. Clippers, it’s evident that DeMarcus Cousins is the only constant in the team. “I’ve seen enough. We’re going to play small,” head coach Dave Joerger told ESPN. “DeMarcus is going […]

The start of the season for the Sacramento Kings have not gone according to plan. They are currently ranked 11th in the Western Conference and are on a 4-8 record, including a three-game losing skid. Their All-Star center, DeMarcus Cousins, recently gave his thoughts on what has been causing them to lose this much in […]

Rudy Gay has been on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s radar, seemingly since the departure of Kevin Durant. When KD left, it left the Thunder depleted on the wing more than ever before, especially when it comes to a scoring punch. The addition of Victor Oladipo has helped, but the Thunder could still use some help […]

Omri Casspi showed everyone last year that he is one of the league’s better shooters. He is very skilled at moving to the open spot and finding the holes in the defense. This year, he has only been playing 15.3 minutes per game. That is not the amount he’d hope to see because he believes he could help his […]

Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins is entering his seventh year in the league, six of those seven years have been filled with trade rumors due to his volatile temperament and the organization’s lack of stability for the past decade. This time, though, it looks as if Cousins might be on the move once and for all, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings 101-91 on Thursday night but not went right for those wearing the Purple and Gold, or at least for one Lakers fan who supported his team on the wrong night, wearing the wrong uniform. Prior to the beginning of the second quarter, the arena Kiss Cam panned across the […]

When the Los Angeles Lakers traveled to take on the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, the storied rivalry between the two California-based teams was seemingly reunited. Besides the Lakers having a great comeback win, DeMarcus Cousins and Julius Randle angrily exchanged words, and D’Angelo Russell had a not-so-nice reply to one Kings fan’s sign. The sign […]

Sacramento Kings forward Omri Casspi has been part of a lot of trade rumors since last summer, but nothing materialized and he has remained with his team. The 28-year-old Israeli international was asked recently about it and made it clear that the Kings are not looking to move him nor did he request for a trade from […]

The Sacramento Kings have had trouble winning games this season sitting at a 4-7 record through Friday night.

DeMarcus Cousins was asked postgame about his altercation with Julius Randle at the end of the Sacramento Kings 101-91 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. “Just some friendly UK (University of Kentucky) love,” Cousins told Ros Gold-Onwude of CSN Bay Area. “It’s pretty sad when opposing teams let it be known what their game plan is, […]

DeMarcus Cousins could be wearing a different jersey after the All-Star break. According to a report by ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the Sacramento Kings center is “extremely unlikely” to re-sign with the team once he becomes a free-agent and the Kings could maximize his trade value by giving his destination team a full year of his […]

After Thursday night’s Los Angeles Lakers 101-91 win over the Sacramento Kings, forward Julius Randle and center DeMarcus Cousins had a brief exchange of words in what many thought could turn into something bigger.

The Sacramento Kings 102-94 win over New Orleans on Tuesday night wasn’t just another loss for the still-winless Pelicans, but also one of bizarre circumstances. The referees ordered both teams to replay 18.9 seconds of the second quarter after the halftime break because they miscounted the number of fouls in the first half. A foul late […]

The Sacramento Kings have waived guard Jordan Farmar, according to Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated. After a brief two-game stint and 37 total minutes of playing time with the team, Farmar has served his purpose — playing the spare minutes to avoid burning the tires on starter Ty Lawson. With the Kings’ ninth game of […]

While it might not be Shaqtin’-a-Fool-worthy; Miami Heat broadcast announcer, Eric Reid, struggled to call Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan by the right name, introducing him as “DeMarcus DeRozan” instead. Who's Demarcus Derozan? pic.twitter.com/ubxXqmKGrK — Derek Torres (@DToRR28) November 2, 2016 Reid might have been a little tongue-tied since the Heat were playing against DeMarcus Cousins‘ […]

He may have signed a max contract last summer with the Miami Heat, but that does not reflect how difficult it was for Hassan Whiteside to reach this point of his career. After being drafted 33rd overall in the 2010 draft, the 7-foot-center bounced between the Sacramento Kings and their D-League affiliate, the Reno Bighorns. Whiteside failed […]

DeMarcus Cousins had picked up his sixth foul and left the game frustrated at the night’s officiating.
