Doncic will serve a one-game suspension because of technical foul accumulation, the NBA announced Saturday, sidelining him for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards after he picked up his 16th technical foul of the season in the Lakers' win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. Doncic had just been called for an offensive foul while the Lakers were attempting to inbound the ball. Doncic attempted to move past Williams and the 24-year-old then waved his arm behind him and slapped Doncic in the throat. "Which was obviously [not the case]," said Doncic, who scored 41 points with eight rebounds and three assists in the win. The Lakers have won 15 of their last 20 games with Doncic averaging 35.5 points per game during the span.
