It was an ugly scene out in Puerto Rico on Monday between DeMarcus Cousins and a large group of fans.

Cousins, who plays for the Mets de Guaynabo in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional, got into a physical altercation with fans following his ejection from a road game against Vaqueros de Bayamon after fans were seen throwing drinks on him as he attempted to leave the floor. He finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, and five assists before getting the boot.

Video from the incident shows Cousins and several fans exchanging some middle fingers before the drinks begin to rain down on his head, which sets Cousins off. As he tried to angrily rush back out of the tunnel, he was pulled down to the ground by the people trying to quickly remove him from the court. Right before then, video captured Cousins getting into a heated conversation on the sideline with one fan, which led to Cousins being ejected and the subsequent drink-throwing.

It’s not pretty…

WOW — DeMarcus Cousins was ejected, and fans threw drinks at him —

Cousins went after the fans. 😳
