Today, Nuggets reporter Miroslav Ćuk posted a message on social media to reply to a fan's actions regarding the team's failure to renew Cousins after the end of the 2021-22 season.
"From a play point, I agreed to renew him at the time. But something he was off the court almost drove himself out of the league," Miroslav Ćuk wrote.
In the regular season of the 2021-22 season, he averaged 13.9 minutes per game for the Nuggets, scoring 8.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks, with a three-point shooting percentage of 32.4%. Cousins played 5 games in the playoffs, averaging 11.4 minutes per game, scoring 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 0.6 steals, with a three-point shooting percentage of 66.7%.
At that time, in the 44 games before Cousins joined, when Jokic left the game, the Nuggets' net efficiency was -12.5 points. In 38 games after Cousins joined, when Jokic left the game, the Nuggets' net efficiency rose to -2.5 points.
During the 2022 playoffs, Patton and Cousins had a fierce quarrel on the way back to their seats, and the two refused to give in.
On June 11 this year, Puerto Rico League official media announced that former NBA player Cousins was suspended until the end of the season due to a conflict with fans and faced a penalty of up to $10,000. At that time, Cousins had a conflict with the fans after doing the "grab the lower body" movement during the game, so he was directly expelled. When he left the court, Cousins was thrown into drinks and snacks by fans, and he began to go crazy, and the scene was almost out of control. Later, the team directly terminated the contract with Cousins.
