DeMarcus Cousins, George Karl Reportedly Had Altercation After Loss to Spurs

The relationship between DeMarcus Cousins and Sacramento Kings coach George Karl has reportedly gone from strained to borderline toxic.

Unhappy with the team's performance following Monday's 106-88 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Cousins "stormed into the locker room and cursed out head coach George Karl with a torrent of obscenities," according to Jason McIntyre of the Big Lead. Karl did not engage with Cousins at the time, and teammates later told the All-NBA center that his tactics were not conducive to winning.

Cousins' displeasure with the franchise's direction is no secret.
