A player who does not currently participate in the game is usually imposed a suspension of a match for leaving the immediate vicinity of the bench when an altercation ensues in real action.
The two stars will not be reprimanded because the league did not consider the activity of Lance Stephenson and Quer Cook, Warriors, as an "altercation," sources said.
If Curry had been disciplined, he would have been forced to sit at home on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was to open the season, and Cousins would have served his suspension on his return from a Achilles injury.
In the fourth quarter, Stephenson suffered a serious typo as he headed for the basket and guard Laker threw his right arm violently into Cook's area, prompting officials and the players to separate them.
It was at this point that Curry and Cousins got incredulous on the pitch at the free kick.
Assistant coach Jarron Collins immediately rushed to return the stars to the bench, and then coach Steve Kerr seemed to make them understand the importance of staying in the restricted area.
Cook never sought to make the situation worse as he moved away.
The league tries to grant clemency in most cases when it comes to a dead ball, with players on the sidelines usually putting themselves on the field to congratulate or communicate with their teammates.
However, the incident of Stephenson-Cook posing no security problem, no penalty was necessary.
Once the Warriors have welcomed the thunder, they embark on a two-game road trip starting from Utah to Denver.
