Lakers' Luka Doncic already playing with fire after doing something that suspended him last season

Luka Doncic, the Los Angeles Lakers star, is facing potential trouble on the court as he continues to accumulate technical fouls. Last season, Doncic was suspended for one game due to reaching the 16th technical foul threshold. The NBA announced the suspension on Saturday following the Lakers' win over the Brooklyn Nets. Doncic will have to serve his suspension during Monday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Doncic admitted during an interview that last season was particularly difficult for him, as he was unable to spend time with his children throughout the season. He expressed his desire to spend more time with his kids and emphasized the importance of balancing basketball and family life. Doncic has already been assessed one preseason technical foul, which does not count towards his regular-season total, potentially allowing him to vent his frustrations early in the season.

However, he cannot afford any more technical fouls, as they could jeopardize the Lakers' deep playoff run, which is largely built around his leadership.
