The League Office review process rescinded what would have been Russell Westbrook’s 17th technical foul of the season. Westbrook enters the Thunder’s game against the Lakers Tuesday still two regular-season technicals away from a second suspension.
Westbrook was originally handed the since-rescinded technical Sunday in the third quarter of the Thunder’s 106-103 loss to the Mavericks. Westbrook drew a foul as he drove to the basket with 2:39 left in the period. After the play, he spun all the way around to pull his arm away from Mavericks guard Devin Harris.
The resulting technical foul was the third Westbrook has had rescinded this season.
