The NBA decided to rescind Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic‘s 16th technical foul, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Doncic will be allowed to play in Monday’s road game against the Detroit Pistons, as the Lakers look to extend their winning streak to 10 games.

If the appeal was upheld, Doncic would’ve had to serve a one-game suspension without pay. If he does receive another technical foul, he will have to sit out a game.
Doncic was given a technical foul after getting into an argument with Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze on Saturday.
