Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks’ star player, recently received his 16th technical foul of the season, putting him one technical foul away from a one-game suspension.
Doncic has been one of the most dynamic players in the NBA this season, averaging 28.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. His impressive play has helped the Mavericks to a 40-27 record and the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
However, Doncic’s temper has been a problem all season long. He has been called for 16 technical fouls so far, which is tied for the fourth-most in the league. If he receives one more technical foul, he will be suspended for one game.
The NBA has a zero-tolerance policy for technical fouls, and Doncic’s temper has been a problem all season long. He has been called for technical fouls for arguing with referees, making contact with opponents, and even throwing his jersey to the ground after a call.
The Mavericks have been trying to help Doncic control his temper. They have implemented a system where he is fined for each technical foul he receives. The fines are donated to charity, but the team hopes that the fines will help Doncic understand the importance of controlling his emotions on the court.
Doncic’s technical fouls have been a problem all season long, and it looks like he is on track to receive a one-game suspension if he receives one more technical foul. The Mavericks are hoping that Doncic can control his temper and avoid the suspension, as it would be a big blow to their playoff chances.
