DeMarcus Cousins mops floor in hopes of keeping game from being postponed (Video)
Wednesday’s game between the Sixers and Kings was postponed, but DeMarcus Cousins tried his best to prevent that from happening.
Prior to the original tip-off time, moisture accumulated on the court at Wells Fargo Center from the hockey surface underneath that caused the Sixers to request the start of the game be delayed. Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer posted a video to Twitter to show how much water was on the surface.

Arena staff mopped the floor in an effort to get it in a playable condition and even received a hand from DeMarcus Cousins, who had a mop in each hand.
Unfortunately, it was determined the best decision would be to postpone the game, which prompted the Kings to jokingly take a shot at the Sixers.
Tonight's game has been postponed… y'all can trust the process but not the floor? Smh, @Sixers.

A makeup date has not yet been announced. On the positive side, we got to see Cousins’ mopping skills.
