Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins is being investigated by the NBA and police after the mother of his child alleged that he threatened to shoot her in the head last week.

Cristy West told police in Mobile, Ala., on Friday that Cousins made the threat during a phone conversation, and she provided a recording of the call. TMZ posted a copy of the recording online, and police spokeswoman Charlette Solis confirmed it was the same recording the woman gave investigators.
