The NBA league office overturned Luka Dončić’s 16th technical foul, sparing him an automatic one-game suspension after a heated double-technical exchange with Goga Bitadze in the Lakers’ 105-104 win over the Magic. Dončić said Bitadze insulted his family, but officials ruled the incident did not warrant a season-altering penalty, leaving him at 15 technicals as Los Angeles rides a nine-game win streak into a key matchup.
The Orlando Magic have decided to pick up the team option on Goga Bitadze's contract, signaling their preference for a traditional low-post and paint protection center. This move fills one of the two remaining project roster spots and leaves the Magic with one more spot to spend on in free agency. Bitadze showed promise in his short stint with the team, excelling in defense and rebounding. The Magic's focus on defense and rim protection aligns with Bitadze's skill set, making him a valuable asset for the team. The Magic may still look to retain Moe Wagner or explore other options in free agency to strengthen their roster.
