DeMarcus Cousins apologized to the Warriors for getting ejected from Friday’s game in New York. Despite being inactive, Cousins was issued a technical foul after jawing with official Scott Foster, and was sent to the locker room during the first quarter.

“He apologized,” Kerr told reporters Sunday in Brooklyn, prior to tipoff against the Nets. “He understands this is a different role, a different team, a different situation. So he’s got to move forward in his career, and he knows that.

“That kind of stuff, it’s not going to help us win a championship. It’s not going to help his reputation, and I think he understands that. And I think he immediately regretted what happened. So I really appreciated him coming to me and making that pretty clear. And I don’t expect it happen again.”
Cousins has amassed 107 technicals over his first eight years in the league, leading the NBA in the category for half those seasons. He has yet to play a game Warriors after signing this offseason, as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon sustained last year with the Pelicans.
