Luka Doncic will be suspended for one game by NBA
Luka Doncic's 16th technical foul of this season has been upheld by the NBA, and he will serve an automatic one-game suspension as a result.
Luka Doncic was given his 16th technical foul of the season during the Los Angeles Lakers ' 116-99 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday when he lightly pushed forward Ziaire Williams and Williams reacted by hitting Doncic in the upper chest. Per NBA rules, when a player reaches 16 technical fouls in a season, he is automatically suspended for one game. Doncic had previously been given his 16th technical foul of this season this past Saturday in a 105-104 win against the Orlando Magic when he and big man Goga Bitadze exchanged trash talk.
But the league rescinded that technical the following day, saving him from a one-game suspension. This time, however, the technical Doncic received on Friday wasn't rescinded, which means he will serve a one-game suspension on Monday when the Lakers host the Washington Wizards .
