The NBA has rescinded Luka Doncic’s 16th technical foul, allowing the Los Angeles Lakers star to remain eligible for Monday night’s road game against the Detroit Pistons.
Under league rules, a player who reaches 16 technical fouls during the regular season is subject to an automatic one-game suspension. The decision to rescind the technical removes that penalty, keeping Doncic available for the Lakers in Detroit.
What it means
With the technical foul removed from his total, Doncic avoids the immediate suspension that would have been triggered by the 16th assessment. The Lakers will have him in the lineup for Monday’s matchup at the Pistons.
