"Just because I yelled at him, I guess. That's what he said. But I heard three other players say the exact same sentence and didn't get a tech. And that's my problem, you know, I was trying not to talk at all. This is the first thing I said - no warning or nothing."
"The NBA automatically suspends any player who receives 16 technical fouls during a season. Doncic has reached the threshold twice in his career, but the NBA rescinded the 16th technical each time, allowing him to avoid suspension."
Luka Doncic was issued his 15th technical foul during the Lakers' 120-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night. Referee Ed Malloy charged him with the technical for using profanity directed towards an official with 5:43 remaining in the second quarter. Doncic disputed the call, noting that other players used similar language without receiving technicals and that he received no warning. Under NBA rules, any player receiving 16 technical fouls during a season faces automatic suspension. Doncic has previously reached this threshold twice in his career, with the NBA rescinding the 16th technical both times. He declined to predict whether he will avoid another technical.
