Kings announcer placed on leave after tweeting 'All Lives Matter' at DeMarcus Cousins

Sacramento Kings announcer Grant Napear is on administrative leave from KHTK after tweeting "ALL LIVES MATTER" at DeMarcus Cousins on Monday night, the Sacramento Bee reports.

"Grant’s recent Twitter comments do not reflect our organization’s views and values," the Kings wrote in a statement. "We are reviewing the matter further with our broadcast partners NBC Sports California and Sports 1140 KHTK.”

The trouble for Napear started when former Kings star center DeMarcus Cousins, who Napear has strongly criticized, prompted Napear to offer his thoughts on the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
