Of course, Doncic was expected to miss Monday’s game due to a suspension after he picked up his 16th technical foul of the season in Saturday’s victory, though the NBA announced on Sunday that the technical had been rescinded, meaning that the star guard will be available for Monday’s game.

Los Angeles has listed Marcus Smart as questionable due to right ankle soreness and he is in danger of missing his first game since March 12.
