Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers got some good news following their 105-104 win over the Orlando Magic on the road on Saturday.
Luka Doncic was initially expected to serve a one-game suspension after accumulating his 16th technical foul of the 2025-26 NBA regular season during the Magic game at the Kia Center in Orlando, but the league later rescinded that tech.
“The technical fouls on Luka Dončić (LAL) and Goga Bitadze (ORL) issued with 1:19 remaining in the 3rd quarter on March 21 have been rescinded upon league office review,” the league shared via social media post on X, formerly Twitter.
That technical was called on the former NBA scoring champion in the third quarter when Doncic had an exchange with Magic big man Goga Bitadze, while Doncic was at the charity stripe. Bitadze was also slapped with a technical foul.
The 27-year-old Doncic has racked up at least 16 technical fouls in a season twice in his career, both during his time with the Dallas Mavericks, who traded him to the Lakers in February of 2025.
Doncic led the Lakers against the Magic with 33 points, albeit on a salty 12-for-30 shooting from the field and 3-for-13 from the 3-point area. He added eight assists, five rebounds, four steals, and a block in 38 minutes of action, as the Lakers escaped with a victory, thanks to a clutch 3-point bucket by Luke Kennard.
The Lakers extended their winning streak to nine games with their success in Orlando, and they will have Doncic to help them try to keep it going on Monday against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
