Elbowing Al Horford is going to cost DeMarcus Cousins.
The cameras near the basket are my favorite because its great to see the energy behind these shots. The camera was perfectly placed and caught how DeMarcus Cousins elbowed Hawks Al Horford in the head. Take a look at the footage below.

Here’s what the NBA had to say:
Sacramento Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended one game without pay for hitting Atlanta Hawks forward Al Horford in the head with a forearm, it was announced today by Kiki VanDeWeghe, Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations.
The incident occurred with 2:00 remaining in the first quarter of the Hawks’ 103-97 win over the Kings on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at Philips Arena.
Cousins will serve his suspension tonight when the Kings face the Miami Heat at 7:30 p.m. ET at AmericanAirlines Arena.
The Kings are off to a so-so start but elbowing another player in the head was uncalled for.
