The manager of Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from Sleep Train Arena during Tuesday night's game against Houston for slapping Rockets guard Jason Terry in the hand.
It happened in the third quarter as Terry was hustling back on defense in a failed attempt to stop a Kings fast break. Terry's momentum carried him towards the stands, and as he tried to slow himself down, he put his hands out to cushion himself and accidentally pushed Andrew Rogers, who happens to be Cousins' manager. Terry began to walk away when the fan slapped at his hand as if to say "Get out of here!"
Terry turned towards Rogers and took a step towards Rogers when play was stopped as players on both sides stepped in to break things up. No punches were thrown, but the officials had Rogers ejected after reviewing a replay of the incident.
