Golden State Warriors stars Stephen Curry and DeMarcus Cousins won't be punished for stepping on the court during a tense late-game situation against the Los Angeles Lakers in Friday's pre-season finale, according to Yahoo Sports.
Both players stepped onto the court as the Lakers' Lance Stephenson and Golden State's Quinn Cook were separated by officials after a hard foul.
The NBA mandates a one-game suspension for any player who leaves the bench during an altercation, but reportedly has determined the events did not amount to an altercation.
Warriors assistant Jarron Collins quickly ushered both players back to the bench, where coach Steve Kerr briefly lectured them.
Golden State open the season on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
