Agent confirms Bogut going to Cavs for stretch run

(AP) — Veteran center Andrew Bogut has chosen to join the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bogut's agent, David Bauman of ISE, tells The Associated Press that Bogut plans to sign with the Cavaliers as soon as he clears waivers. Bauman anticipates that Bogut will join the defending NBA champions by this weekend.

Bogut was traded at the deadline from Dallas to Philadelphia in a deal that brought Nerlens Noel to the Mavericks. He and the 76ers agreed to part ways so Bogut could join a contender, and he had several teams lining up to add the defensive-minded center.

Cousins get suspension for another technical

NEW YORK (AP) — The Pelicans' DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended one game without pay for drawing his 18th technical foul of the season in Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City. He will miss tonight's home game against the Detroit Pistons.

New Orleans acquired Cousins from Sacramento last week and is notorious for his technical fouls.

Under NBA rules, a player or coach is suspended without pay for one game once he receives his 16th technical during the regular season. For every two additional technical fouls received during the season, there is an additional suspension of one game.
