Sacramento Kings star DeMarcus Cousins returned to the team's lineup Sunday after serving a one-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team," but Cousins said it wasn't the team that was behind his benching.
"That was no suspension from the organization. That was one from the head coach. There's a difference," Cousins said following Sunday's 108-99 home loss to Utah. "There's been so much extra stuff this season. Extra, unnecessary stuff. There are a lot of battles between guys that should be on your side. I would say that this [loss] is one of the most frustrating ones.
