Luka Doncic faces one-game suspension after picking up 16th technical foul of season

•Yahoo Sports

It's an automatic suspension for reaching 16, and while the last one Doncic got was rescinded, this one likely sticks.

Luka Doncic — in the midst of a March where he is averaging 37. 2 points, 8. 2 rebounds and 7.

1 assists per game — is about to get a mandated one-game suspension after picking up his 16th technical foul of the season. Unless the technical is rescinded by the league — which happened with Doncic's last one but is highly unlikely in this case — he will serve his suspension and sit out Monday when the Lakers face the Washington Wizards. Doncic picked up his 16th technical after a third-quarter exchange with Brooklyn's Ziaire Williams, and the pair was assessed a double-technical.

The sequence that led to the double technicals for Luka Doncic and Ziaire Williams. If Luka's technical foul (his 16th of the season), isn't rescinded like last time, by league rule he'll have to serve a one-game suspension Monday vs. Washington.
