The NBA has announced that the technical foul awarded against Luka Doncic in the LA Lakers game against the Oklahoma City Thunder has been hurt.
The Marquee match between the LA Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder was overshadowed by Luka Donsic being kicked out.
Luka Doncic was kicked out after the line along with the fans, and the judge claimed that the Slovenians had directed them to fan.
Lakers’ coach JJ Redick was furious, but OKC Thunder’s coach Mark Daigneault supported the phone and insisted that the referee crew deserved respect.
Now there’s a noticeable new twist in this situation, ruining the fine, calm matchup that led the Lakers in the fourth quarter, leading 108-107 before losing 136-120.
The NBA announced through a league office review that its decision to drain Luka Donsic has been overturned.
The league said, “Luka Donsic (LAL)’s technical foul at 7:40 in the fourth quarter on 8/25/4 at 7:40 (opposed to OKC) was cancelled in the league’s office review.”
This is a disastrous look for the NBA, a meaningful game, and from the Lakers’ perspective, it is ruined by a false host.
Perhaps Donsic would have been fouled out later. Perhaps the Lakers would have lost anyway. But we never know. They were leading when he was ejected, so the game could have gone either way.
Viewers are taken away from the captivating finish, and for the Lakers, this loss makes a lot of sense when it comes to playoff positions and seeds.
Los Angeles Lakers fans are furious with the NBA entry and are demanding sanctions against the host crew.

Another addition: “Is that referee now responsible for ruining the game? Will he be fined or suspended? Until these measures are taken, there’s no point in saying all of this “technique has been revoked.” ”
The third writes:
“Please appreciate the idea of reviewing this almost 24 hours later, not when it really matters,” the fans quipped.
“If it’s too late, it’s already had a good game for the fans,” another fan added. “Pause the Ref! He directly influenced the outcome of the game.”
“It’s time to punish officials for their horrifying mistakes,” another angry comment read.
Now the Lakers and Don Sic turn into an emotional game with the Mavericks.
