Lakers Guard Luka Dončić Suspended One Game After 16th Technical Foul

Luka Dončić of the Los Angeles Lakers has been suspended one game without pay for accumulating his 16th technical foul during the 2025-26 regular season, the NBA announced. The suspension was confirmed by James Jones, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations.

Under NBA rules, automatic suspension follows the 16th technical foul. The disciplinary structure mandates one game suspension without pay at this threshold, with additional games added for every two technical fouls accumulated beyond 16.
