NBA rescinds Josh Giddey technical foul

The NBA announced on Thursday that it has rescinded a technical foul handed to Josh Giddey in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 112-117 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

The 21-year-old wanted a technical foul at the 0:58 mark of the second quarter. The removal puts Giddey back to zero technical fouls this season. A player needs 16 technical fouls to be suspended for a game. After the 16th, every additional two technicals will result in another one-game suspension.

Considering Giddey only has two technical fouls in his entire career, the risk of losing him for a game seems low. In eight games this season, he’s averaged 12.1 points on 39.8% shooting, 5.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
