The Kings continue to be in the limelight for the wrong reasons. 

DeMarcus Cousin's manager, Andrew Roberts, was ejected in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game for slapping the hand of Rockets guard Jason Terry, according to Sports Illustrated.

Terry went into the stands while trying to contest a dunk by Kings guard Ben McLemore when his outstretched hand was slapped away by Roberts.

Players from both teams, including Cousins, met near the basket for a few tense moments, and Roberts was ejected shortly after.

This isn't anywhere as serious as Rajon Rondo's slur toward referee Bill Kennedy, but it is another unfortunate incident for a team trying to pull itself up from the bottom of the Western Conference. 

Sacramento beat Houston 107-97 as Terry scored 14 points and Cousins had 26 points and 12 rebounds.
