Luka Doncic was whistled for his 16th technical foul of the season Friday against the Brooklyn Nets, putting him one step away from an automatic suspension.
Under league rules, a player who reaches 16 technical fouls in a season is subject to a one-game suspension, pending review. Doncic will face that one-game ban if the technical is upheld.
What it means
The technical brings added significance to Doncic’s availability going forward, as any decision on whether it stands will determine whether he must sit for one game.
