DeMarcus Cousins: NBA fans have said racial slurs to me multiple times

DeMarcus Cousins says fans have directed racial slurs at him multiple times in his NBA career.

“Oh, I’ve been called n-----,” the Warriors center told Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes. “And it’s crazy because this has happened to me on a few occasions. I reported it to the league, and, you know, I may have said whatever I said back and I was still punished for it."

Cousins did not identify the cities in which he'd heard racial slurs directed at him. Citing league sources, Haynes reported that one of the cities was Sacramento. The report did not identify which team Cousins was playing for at the time, but the six-time All-Star spent the first six-and-a-half seasons of his career with the Kings.
