DeMarcus Cousins didn’t know what to expect when he was introduced as a visiting player for the first time in Sacramento.

Cheers? Boos?

In the end, Cousins got what every returning King not named Spencer Hawes or Jason Terry receives, and that’s an overwhelming ovation when he was introduced as the starting center for the New Orleans Pelicans Thursday night at Golden 1 Center.

The cheers drowned out the boos that could be heard during pregame introductions in Cousins’ first game in Sacramento since the Kings traded him in February.

The boos became louder quickly, however, when Cousins scored the first points of the game on a dunk.
