OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets after being assessed a flagrant foul 2, following a video review for making contact to Hornets center Willy Hernangomez‘s head.

The play in question came with 6:09 left in the second quarter as Cousins tried to get position on Hernangomez in the paint with his right arm, which made contact with Hernangomez’s head following a second move. Cousins could not believe the decision after the video review, as fans in Oracle Arena started booing following the announcement of the ejection.

This is the second time this season Cousins has been ejected from the game, but his first as an active player. Cousins, who is still recovering from a left Achilles injury that kept him out for almost a year, was tossed from the bench during a Oct. 26 win over the New York Knicks by official Scott Foster.
