Luka Doncic has been suspended for one game without pay after receiving his 16th technical foul of the regular season. The punishment means he will miss the Lakers’ game against the Washington Wizards under the NBA’s automatic suspension rules. The latest technical was assessed in the Brooklyn game and, unlike an earlier foul that had been rescinded, this one stood after league review. Once the 16-foul threshold is reached, the NBA applies an automatic one-game suspension, with further bans triggered after every two additional technicals.

Cade Cunningham has been ruled out for at least two weeks after Detroit confirmed he suffered a mild collapsed lung. The injury is a major blow for the Pistons during the run-in and also puts his eligibility for major postseason awards in serious doubt. Cunningham was initially reported to have back spasms after leaving the Washington game early, but further evaluation revealed the lung injury. Detroit is optimistic he can return before the playoffs, though the timeline means he is set to miss multiple regular-season games and may fall short of the 65-game awards threshold.

Kerr reached 600 wins in his 943rd regular-season game, with only Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and Gregg Popovich getting there faster. Golden State snapped its skid behind a 30-point performance from Kristaps Porzingis, while Kerr credited great players for making his place among those coaching names possible.
