TMZ claims to have obtained an August 23 phone conversation between Cousins and his ex-girlfriend Christy West in which she refuses to allow their son to see his wedding the following day in Atlanta. The male voice on the phone can be heard threatening the woman.

'I'm gonna ask you this one more time before I take it to another level,' the man's voice can be heard saying on the recording. 'Can I have my son here, please?'

When the woman says 'no,' the man angrily responds: 'I'm gonna make sure I put a bullet in your f**king head.'

The Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA say they're investigating the claim.

The Lakers issued a statement saying they 'take this claim seriously.' The team and the NBA both say they're gathering information and looking into the allegations.

Cousins got married to another woman last weekend in Atlanta.

Cousins signed with the Lakers last month as a free agent, but the veteran center then tore a knee ligament during a workout earlier this month. He could miss the entire season with his new team after knee surgery.
