The sports pundit questioned the league for dismissing Doncic's 16th technical foul, arguing that it was the Lakers superstar who started the incident with Goga Bitadze.
It was formally announced that the NBA will rescind Luka Doncic's 16th technical foul of the season from the Los Angeles Lakers' 105-104 Saturday road win over the Orlando Magic.

Upon this decision, the Slovenian superstar evaded reaching the league's technical foul limit and a subsequent automatic one-game suspension. Doncic will play for the Lakeshow's Monday key matchup against the Detroit Pistons.
In the eyes of Skip Bayless, what the NBA did was simply questionable following how Doncic started his previous incident with Magic big man Goga Bitadze.
"Luka's tech rescinded? Ridiculous. He obviously started it with Goga, Goga responded in kind, then Luka escalated it all the way back up the floor," the sports pundit posted on X (Formerly Twitter). "But the NBA obviously doesn't want to lose its biggest ratings draw and gate attraction ... who gets away with arguing every call."
On his end, Bitadze dismissed Doncic's accusations and made it clear that it was the Slovenian superstar who started the trash-talking by mentioning his mother.
As the NBA has also rescinded Bitadze's technical foul, both sides can only move on from what happened.
Doncic and the Lakers will travel to Detroit and face the East-best Pistons with a red-hot nine-game win streak.
