NBA Rescinds Doncic’s Technical Foul That Would’ve Led to Suspension

The NBA has rescinded Luka Dončić’s technical foul from Sunday night, allowing him to play in Monday’s game against the Pacers, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports.

Dončić received the technical foul in the Mavericks’ loss to the Hornets, his 16th technical foul of the season. According to NBA rules, every player who receives 16 technical fouls in one season receives an automatic one-game suspension.

The NBA’s decision is big news for Dallas, which is trying to find a way into the playoff picture. The Mavericks are currently 36-39 on the season, sitting at No. 11 in the Western Conference and a game back of the Thunder and Lakers for a spot in the play-in tournament.
