The Los Angeles Lakers exchanged DeMarcus Cousins' roster spot for Markieff Morris back in February. In Cousins' first game against his former team Sunday, he and Morris got in a testy exchange of their own on Sunday.
Neither player ended up finishing the game.
Morris and Cousins were called for double technical fouls with 2:15 remaining in the first quarter of the Houston Rockets' game against L.A. for getting into a shoving match after Morris' flagrant 1 foul on Jae'Sean Tate, which sent the Rockets' forward sprawling to the ground.
