Report: NBA rescinds DeMarcus Cousins’ technical foul for tossing shoe (video)

DeMarcus Cousins – who’s still working his way back from a torn Achilles – got a technical foul in the Warriors’ win over the Hornets last night for tossing Jeremy Lamb‘s fallen-off shoe off the court.

Cousins:

Next time, I’ll just step on the shoe and roll my ankle, break it, tear an Achilles. Just leave it out there next time. I guess that’s what they want.

Mark Medina of The Mercury News:

NBA has rescinded DeMarcus Cousins' technical from last night. Players generally aren't allowed to toss a shoe off the floor, but DeMarcus did it to avoid an injury to himself and others
