An arrest warrant has been issued for Los Angeles Lakers center DeMarcus Cousins over threats he allegedly made to his ex-girlfriend, according to media reports.

The Mobile Police Department in Alabama confirmed the warrant for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge with Fox 10 on Thursday.

TMZ published an audio recording of a phone call between Cousins and Christy West, his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his 7-year-old son. Cousins, from Mobile, asked her if their son would be allowed to attend his wedding.

He allegedly threatened to "put a bullet through (her) f---ing head" after she said no.

Cousins married Morgan Lang this past weekend in Atlanta.

West is said to have recorded the call and provided police with a copy.

"We are aware of the allegation involving DeMarcus Cousins and, of course, take this claim seriously," the Lakers said in a statement. "We are in the process of gathering information and will reserve further comment at this time."

A defense attorney interviewed by USA Today said it's unlikely the four-time NBA All-Star would face jail time.

Cousins missed most of last season with the Golden State Warriors as he recovered from an Achilles tendon tear sustained in January 2018.

He signed a one-year deal with the Lakers in July but tore a knee ligament during a workout earlier this month. He could miss the entire season with his new team after knee surgery.
