Kings coach Dave Joerger called for a truce in an ongoing spat between DeMarcus Cousins and The Sacramento Bee newspaper.
Cousins recently confronted a Bee writer after a column that referenced the arrest of the 6-foot-11 star's brother.
"This guy is the face of our franchise," Joerger said after the Kings' 99-79 loss to the Mavericks on Sunday. "He's done and said some things that he wishes he could do over. He has improved."
"I'm not justifying anything that he's done. What he did was excessive. But enough is enough," he said.
