Former King DeMarcus Cousins has reached out to the family of Stephon Clark, a 22-year-old African-American man who was shot and killed by Sacramento police on Sunday, and volunteered to pay the cost of the funeral, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports.
On Thursday, the Kings' game against the Hawks was delayed about 20 minutes because of protesters outside the Golden 1 Center who blocked fans from entering the stadium in response to the shooting. Sacramento picked up a 105-90 win in front of a mostly-empty arena.
After the game, Kings owner Vivek Ranadive addressed the crowd to discuss the protest and called Clark's shooting a "horrific tragedy" and expressed sympathy to the family.
