DeMarcus Cousins blames George Karl for suspension

DeMarcus-Cousins-George-Karl

DeMarcus Cousins went on record and blamed his head coach for his recent suspension.

The Sacramento Kings big man told reporters that it was coach George Karl who was responsible for his recent one game suspension.

"That wasn't a suspension from the organization. That was a suspension from the head coach," Kings center DeMarcus Cousins said.

This runs counter to what we’ve heard, as Karl doesn’t really have the authority to unilaterally suspend Cousins. GM Vlade Divac does, and he appears to have sided with the coach on this one.

Cousins and Karl have never gotten along. Remember this tweet? Cousins was reportedly suspended because of this incident, and it’s easy to see why he was, but that won’t stop him from blaming Karl for his troubles.
