Er galt als Hitzkopf der besten Basketball-Liga der Welt. Jetzt stellt er einmal mehr zur Schau, warum seine Karriere seit Jahren bergab geht …
DeMarcus Cousins, einst gefeierter NBA-Star, sorgt wieder für Schlagzeilen – und das drei Jahre nach seinem Aus in der Liga!
Der 35-Jährige spielt aktuell für Mets de Guaynabo in der Puerto Rican Professional Basketball League. Doch damit ist jetzt Schluss. Cousins wurde für den Rest der Saison gesperrt und muss umgerechnet 3700 Euro Strafe zahlen.
Der Grund: Ein „disqualifizierendes Foul, ein technisches Foul und Handlungen, die Gewalt oder Provokation auslösen“, so „Baloncesto Superior Nacional“.
EX-NBA-Star rastet aus: Was war passiert?
Mehrere Videos des Vorfalls verbreiteten sich rasant im Netz, die zeigen, dass der Basketbaler am Spielfeldrand mit einem Fan in Streit geriet. Erst nur verbal, dann näherte sich Cousins dem Zuschauer und griff sich in den Schritt. Als der Mann die Hände des Sportlers wegschlug, griffen Teamkollegen ein und zogen Cousins weg.
Als der daraufhin vom Platz flog, eskalierte die Situation: Auf dem Weg in die Kabine bewarfen ihn Fans mit Getränken. Der Ex-NBA-Profi verlor die Beherrschung und wollte auf die Fans losgehen, wurde aber von Sicherheitsleuten daran gehindert.
In der NBA war Cousins ein Star: Er erzielte 19,6 Punkte im Schnitt, holte 10,2 Rebounds pro Spiel, war viermal All-Star und zweimal im All-NBA-Team.
Die sportliche Karriere des einst gefeierten Stars scheint am Ende.

Mandatory Credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images The Nashville Predators, coming off a game they felt they let get away, wrap up a four-game road trip Saturday night when they face the Central Division rival Winnipeg Jets. Nashville led 2-1 at Montreal on Thursday before the Canadiens' Cole Caufield tied it with 20 seconds remaining in regulation. Caufield added the winner with three seconds left in the extra session, leaving the Predators with a 3-2 loss and a 1-1-1 mark on their road trip.

Running back Isaac Brown, who had battled injuries for the past month, ran 15 times for 113 yards. Beck, who entered Friday as one […]
Eugenio Suarez, M’s slam Jays, close in on first World Series
Oct 17, 2025; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez (28) tosses his bat after hitting a grand slam against the Toronto Blue Jays during the eighth inning during game five of the ALCS round for the 2025 MLB playoffs at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images SEATTLE -- In the hallway outside the Seattle Mariners' clubhouse is a sign that reads "Good Vibes Only," a phrase coined by Eugenio Suarez when he helped the franchise snap a 21-year postseason drought in 2022. After Suarez subsequently spent 1 1/2 years in Arizona, the Mariners reacquired the slugging third baseman at this summer at the trade deadline. That move more than paid off on Friday, when Suarez's second home run of the game, an eighth-inning grand slam, broke a tie as the Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays […]

Strome added an insurance tally with 8:28 remaining in regulation for Washington, which also got a goal apiece from Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson, and outshot the Wild 45-14. Directly off a Strome faceoff win, the puck slid to Ovechkin, who […]

Sep 20, 2025; San Jose, California, USA; San Jose Earthquakes forward Cristian Arango (9) runs against St. Louis CITY SC during the second half at PayPal Park. Mandatory Credit: Robert Edwards-Imagn Images There will be plenty on the line for the San Jose Earthquakes when they host playoff-bound Austin FC on Saturday evening in a Decision Day match. The match means a lot more to the Earthquakes (10-15-8, 38 points), who head to the final game of the regular season in 11th place in the Western Conference and needing a victory to have any chance at all of making the postseason. Even with a win, San Jose would need help to earn a wild-card playoff berth. An Earthquakes win paired with losses by both Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas would send San Jose into a wild-card playoff match. An […]
