LOS ANGELES — The Lakers star guard Luka Dončić is in jeopardy of getting a one-game suspension after picking up his 16th technical this season in Los Angeles' 116-99 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. With five minutes left in the third quarter, Dončić and Nets forward Zaire Williams both received a double technical after Dončić committed an offensive foul.
They both received techs after the officials reviewed the altercation, showing Dončić pushing Williams away and Williams retaliating by swinging his hand behind him, hitting Dončić in the face. “Ziaire [Williams] hit my face three times. I just wanted to get out of there.
It's a double tech, of course. What can I say? I didn't even talk.
I just wanted to get out there. They said my push was exaggerated, which was obviously not. I don't know what else to say in this case.
