Orlando's Goga Bitadze and Los Angeles' Luka Doncic were given technical fouls during a game between the Magic and Lakers, but more context was provided after the game. Both players were warned for their unsportsmanlike comments directed towards each other during the free-throw. DonCic claimed that he was offended by Bitadiz's language and that he had choice words in Serbian about his family. In a phone interview following the game, Bitadz shared his own account of the incident. The Lakers have appealed the technical foul, which will result in a suspension for Doncick for one game without pay.
