US EditionLuka Doncic scores 41 points and gets his 16th technical foul in Lakers' 116-99 win over Nets
- On Friday, Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic received his 16th technical foul during a 116-99 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, triggering an automatic one-game suspension.
- This marks the second time in less than a week the star has faced suspension; the NBA previously rescinded a technical foul against the Orlando Magic last week.
- During the third quarter, Doncic and Nets forward Ziaire Williams were assessed double technical fouls after exchanging words. "He was in my face three times," Doncic told reporters, claiming Williams provoked the contact.
- Lakers head coach JJ Redick confirmed the team plans to appeal the ruling, as Doncic is slated to miss Monday's game against the Washington Wizards unless the technical is rescinded.
- Despite the suspension threat, the Lakers have secured 11 victories in their last 12 games and currently sit third in the Western Conference standings with Bronny James now in the rotation.
