DeMarcus Cousins fouled out and had an off night in the Kings’ blowout loss to the Spurs on Wednesday. Cousins shot 9-21 and missed both his free throw attempts as the Kings were defeated 127-102. But who can really blame him? The poor guy was mourning the loss of his dog.
Cousins had the phrase “R.I.P. Roscoe” written on his shoes (seen above) in memory of his 18-week-old bulldog puppy who died last week from a bee sting.
“He just collapsed in his crate while I was on our last road trip,” Cousins told The Sacramento Bee. “We had an autopsy done and everything because we wanted to know what happened. The (veterinarian) said it was from a bee sting.”
Even though Cousins seems to be taking the loss pretty hard, he’s working quickly to push aside the bad memory — he said he’s going to get another puppy this week.
