NBA Rescinds Technical Foul on Jaylen Brown After Niang Incident

The NBA has rescinded the technical foul assessed to Boston Celtics' Jaylen Brown by official Scott Foster during Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown was initially given the tech for staring down the 76ers' bench, but it was later revealed that he did so because 76ers' Georges Niang grabbed his leg. The move was an attempt to keep Brown from quickly making it to the other end of the floor. The rescinded tech resulted in a tech for both Brown and Niang.
