MIAMI — The NBA rescinded a technical foul called on DeMarcus Cousins for tossing a shoe off the court during the Warriors’ win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, Bay Area News Group learned.
Cousins was initially given a technical with 4:51 left in the game after tossing Jeremy Lamb’s shoe to the stands. Though players are normally forbidden from throwing objects into the crowd, Cousins did so under unique circumstances. Lamb’s left shoe fell off after cutting toward the free-throw line. To avoid an injury to someone, Cousins picked up the shoe and tossed it off the court.
