New Orleans Pelicans All-Star DeMarcus Cousins has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for two instances of inappropriate language directed toward fans.
The separate incidents occurred on Sunday and Monday, during the Pelicans' road back-to-back against the Los Angeles Lakers and the Utah Jazz, respectively.
A video shot by a fan surfaced Tuesday, the day after an 88-83 loss to the Jazz, in which Cousins responded to a heckler's taunts.
