“I let my frustrations get the best of me in the locker room following the loss to San Antonio — that is my bad," Cousins said in a prepared statment (via Yahoo Sports) Wednesday. “For the record, my frustration is not about any one person or player or coach. There is no one to blame.

But take heart, because there’s reason to think that by the time February’s trade deadline comes around, Cousins will no longer be with the Kings — and a move could come in the first half of December.

“It has been brought to my attention that my prior tweet to [the U.S. ambassador to Israel] raises dual loyalty allegations that have historically caused harm to the Jewish community,” Representative Ted Lieu wrote in a tweet. “That is a legitimate concern. I am therefore deleting the tweet.” The California lawmaker’s claim that Friedman, a Jew, had dual loyalty came as controversy swirled around Israel’s decision to bar two Muslim members of Congress—Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota—from entering Israel next week as part of a planned trip to parts of the Middle East region, including to the occupied West Bank....
