Pelicans' DeMarcus Cousins: Could face one-game suspension

Cousins could face a one-game suspension if the technical foul he was assessed in Sunday's loss to the Thunder isn't rescinded.

Analysis:

Less than a minute into Sunday's contest, Cousins got tangled up with the Thunder's Steven Adams and was given his 18th technical foul of the season. The NBA's technical foul policy dictates that after a player picks up his 16th technical of the season, he'll be subjected to a one-game ban for every two subsequent technicals, so if the league determines that Cousins' latest technical was warranted, he'd have to sit out Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Expect an official decision to come Tuesday.
