Kings' Cousins quickest player to get suspension-triggering 16th technical foul

DeMarcus Cousins got his 16th technical of the season and will be suspended one game.

According to the NBA’s current technical foul policy, according to NBC Sports, which suspends players one game for their 16th technical and another game for every other tech after each season — has resulted in eight suspensions since being implemented before the 2005-06 season, according to Patricia Bender’s database:

- Rasheed Wallace 2006-07: March 10

- Rasheed Wallace 2006-07: March 24

- Stephen Jackson 2008-09: March 16

- Dwight Howard 2010-11: March 5

- Dwight Howard 2010-11 April 7

- DeMarcus Cousins 2013-14: April 14

- Blake Griffin 2013-14: April 16

- DeMarcus Cousins 2015-16: March 31

Cousins is the fastest to get 16 technicals, nearly one month faster than Dwight Howard.
