Luka Doncic Avoids Suspension as NBA Rescinds 16th Technical Foul
The NBA overturned Dončić’s 16th technical foul after an appeal, letting the Lakers' leading scorer continue his 9-game winning streak without suspension.
- On Sunday, the NBA rescinded the technical fouls it handed to Luka Dončić, Los Angeles Lakers guard, and Goga Bitadze, Orlando Magic center, after review.
- During Saturday's 105-104 win on March 21, a technical was assessed after Marat Kogut called a double technical with 1:19 left, and the L.A. Lakers appealed shortly after the game.
- Referee Marat Kogut also assessed a technical on Goga Bitadze, while the players offered conflicting accounts: Dončić said Bitadze used a vulgar Serbian insult about his family, but Bitadze claimed Dončić started the exchange.
- Doncć will be allowed to play in Monday's road game against the Detroit Pistons, averting a one-game suspension without pay and preserving the Lakers' chance to extend their nine-game streak to 10.
- Earlier this month, Luka Dončić had his 16th technical foul rescinded, keeping his total at 15, second in the NBA, after Saturday's incident.
