The Sacramento Kings have suspended DeMarcus Cousins indefinitely, the team announced. Cousins was benched at halftime of last night’s game against the Clippers by head coach Keith Smart, after a halftime argument between the coach and volatile player.

After the game, Cousins apologized without going into details:

“What happens in the locker room stays in the locker room but I was wrong. But what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room.”

“Don’t talk back. That’s the thing. I shouldn’t have responded back. Should have accepted what was said and stayed quiet. I messed up. I’m apologizing to all my teammates for it, for responding the way I did, and we’ll move on from it…I grow from all of my mistakes.”
