The audio is of a man and woman --allegedly Cousins and his ex-girlfriend --arguing over a child attending a wedding. When the woman says the child can't go, the man threatens to "put a bullet in her (expletive) head." Cousins is under investigation by the league, and NBA spokesman Mike Bass said, "We are aware of the report regarding DeMarcus Cousins and are investigating the allegations." Obviously nothing has been proven yet, and the situation is very much fluid. If there is any truth to these allegations, Cousins' days as a Laker could be numbered, even if he recovers from his torn ACL in time for the 2020 postseason.
