Former Sacramento Kings star DeMarcus Cousins has offered to pay for the funeral of the 22-year-old unarmed man shot and killed Sunday by city police in his grandmother's backyard,
The Sacramento Bee has reported, citing a source.
According to the Bee's report, Cousins has made similar efforts on several occasions before in Sacramento, where he played from 2010 as a rookie until last season, when he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.
The reported gesture of Cousins to the family of Stephon Clark came a day after protesters delayed a Kings game against the visiting Hawks for about 20 minutes amid other protests throughout the city.
