Sacramento Kings Rumors: Team Wants Cousins to See a Psychologist

The Kings are searching for answers for their big man. Will that come in the way of a phychologist?

While the rules of the collective bargaining agreement don’t allow players to be forced into mental health counseling, it was strongly suggested that Cousins see a psychologist. It was Cousins’ prerogative to decline those services – which he did. But the bare-minimum expectations of the team’s front-office executives were that Cousins would come back contrite and apologetic to Smart and his teammates.

That had not happened to his bosses’ liking, but he was back before they had expected. Even some of his teammates were unpleasantly surprised.
