CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic picked up his 16th technical foul of the season on Sunday, but now NBA officials have rescinded the call. 

Doncic will no longer face a one-game suspension, which was on the table if the call would've stood. 

Doncic had been chirping at officials for most of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets and finally got slapped with a technical midway through the third quarter of a tightly contested game.

The suspension could've prove costly for Dallas, which entered the day tied with Oklahoma City for 10th in the Western Conference but still out of position for a play-in tournament spot because the Thunder hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Mavericks.

The guard can now lace up for Monday night's matchup against the Indiana Pacers in his team's quest to bounce back from a four-game losing streak.
