The Sacramento Kings have issued a $50,000 fine to center DeMarcus Cousins for his recent run-in with a Sacramento Bee columnist, the paper reported Tuesday.?He will not be suspended.?Cousins apologized in a statement released through the Kings.There is a time, place and manner to say everything, and I chose the wrong ones, he said in the statement. Like most people, I am fiercely protective of my friends and family, and I let my emotions get the best of me in this situation. I understand my actions were inexcusable and I commit to upholding the professional standards of the Kings and the NBA.I apologize to my teammates, fans and the Kings organization for my behavior and the ensuing distraction and look forward to moving on and focusing on basketball.The team reviewed an incident in which Cousins confronted and shouted obscenities at the Bees Andy Furillo over a column that referenced the arrest of Cousins brother.The Kings have a clear set of standards of conduct expected of our entire organization, the team said in the statement. As a result of negative interactions with certain members of the media that were not corrected after verbal warnings, we have decided to impose a substantial fine. If this behavior is repeated again we will be forced to consider further discipline.The column, published over the weekend, addressed an incident at a New York nightclub earlier this month that resulted in Cousins and teammate Matt Barnes being sued over an alleged assault. It also referenced an incident at a bar in May involving Cousins and his younger brother, Jaleel, that led to Jaleels arrest.Kings coach Dave Joerger said he is not going to spend another thought on the issue. On Monday, Joerger called Cousins actions excessive but also said he did not think the Bee was practicing fair reporting in regard to Cousins.I think we dealt with it and the more you talk about it, the bigger it exasperates itself, Joerger said before the Kings played Portland on Tuesday night. I said what I had to say on it, moved on. DeMarcus had to say what he had to say on it and we roll on.Cousins had 55 points and 13 rebounds in a 126-121 win over the Blazers on Tuesday night. He was ejected for apparently spitting out his mouthpiece after being fouled with 35 seconds left in the game.After Cousins went to the locker room, officials huddled and decided to rescind the ejection. Cousins returned to complete a three-point play and put the Kings up 122-119.Cousins refused to address the fine after Tuesday nights win, simply smiling and giving a thumbs-up when questioned about it.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.?

Radwanska, making her debut in the Seoul tournament, hit eight aces in a match that lasted 1 hour, 4 minutes at Olympic Park tennis stadium. "It was definitely a very good match -- I was playing really good tennis," Radwanska said. TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Martin Truex Jr. showed up at Talladega Superspeedway determined to be at the front of the field and in control of his chances in NASCARs playoffs.A pole-winning run Saturday put him at the top of the field for the critical elimination race.Truex turned a lap of 193.423 mph to earn the top starting spot Sunday. The run came after NASCAR confiscated a bolt from his Toyota, but Truex said he was not worried about ramifications to his Furniture Row Racing team.The jack bolt issue is really not a big issue, Truex said. They just took the left front, so its not a big issue. It was a parts manufacturing issue, no big deal at all.Winner of two races in the first round of the Chase, Truex is winless in round two but above the cutoff point. Four drivers will be cut from the field on Sunday.All we have to do is make it through to the next one, he said. Weve got some good tracks coming up for us and (Sunday) is going to be a tough race. A lot is going to happen, but we just have to hope for the best and do the best job we can do.I feel good about my car and its got a lot of speed in it, obviously.The inspection issue with Truex provided a little early drama on qualifying day, as there was some speculation the team could face a penalty. NASCAR typically issues penalties in the middle of the week, and a point deduction could in theory knock Truex out of the Chase.However, NASCAR vice president of competition Scott Miller said a points penalty is unlikely, and that Truex had no competitive advantage. The bolt taken could have been considered a safety issue, though.I would say it would be unlikely but it has to go through our process, he said. We dont typically do that on a weekend. Because it is the playoffs, everyone has a heightened sense of everything. This is no different than things we have done all year, and we will treat this one like we do all year long.Miller was unsure if NASCAR would accelerate its review process to determine if a penalty will be issued before the race.We dont have any precedent for doing that, Miller said. We will be circling up and trying to figure out the best way to proceed from this moment forward until (Sundays) race.Brad Keselowski, in nearly a must-win situation on Sunday, qualified second. He won the knockout race in 2014 to stave off elimination, and said his best starting position at Talladega bodes well for him.I feel like quaalifying well is certainly a very strong omen for Talladega and Daytona, he said.dddddddddddd I think all of the races Ive won here, weve had good starts and the races that we havent won or been super-competitive we usually dont have any speed in qualifying, so its certainly a confidence-builder.Its not a guarantee by any means, but a confidence-builder that you carry into this weekend and carry into (the) race.Keselowski won at Talladega in May and at Daytona in July.Matt Kenseth qualified third and was followed by Chase Elliott, who is also in a must-win situation on Sunday.Greg Biffle and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. were fifth and sixth and Roush-Fenway Racing put three of its cars into the final round of qualifying as Trevor Bayne was 11th.Rounding out the top 12 were Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Austin Dillon, Paul Menard and Reed Sorenson was 12th. It was a huge drop-off for Sorenson, who was the fastest car in the first round of qualifying.Hamlin is also facing a must-win situation, and said he prefers that to points racing all day at Talladega.Im actually trying to lead every lap, he said. Thats all I can do is try to go out there and lead every single lap possible and put ourselves in position at the end. Definitely want to be in the lead if we get down to a shootout and try to defend from there, so weve got our work cut out for us, but its nothing we havent done before.Before the first round runs, NASCAR made the Joe Gibbs Racing teams of Hamlin, Kenseth and Kyle Busch adjust the top of their left-rear quarter panels. The teams were required to go back through inspection and Miller said the body of the cars had been manipulated.It doesnt have to be big to be an infraction, he said. It just has to be fair for everybody and thats what we strive to do.Truex, runner-up to Hamlin in the Daytona 500, is one of the many drivers who doesnt plan to fade to the back of the field on Sunday in an effort to avoid potential accidents. Hes said all weekend he feels more in control of his race if hes near the front, and the pole position puts him right where he wants to be.The strategy is to stay there, but the problem is that its pretty hard to do, he said. Its definitely the place to be to start the race. This is obviously a big race with a lot on the line.
