Jayson Tatum catches break on latest technical foul

During Wednesday night's loss to the Miami Heat, Jayson Tatum committed what was his 14th technical foul of the season, moving him just two technicals way from a one-game suspension. However, upon review from the league, the technical has been rescinded. So, Tatum got a slight break from the league and has some breathing room for the remainder of the season, but not much. Still, with 13 technicals on the year, Tatum should be careful down the stretch. He would not be suspended if he could get to game No. 82 without reaching 16 techs. Here's a look at the technical foul that eventually got rescinded: https://twitter.com/taylorcsnow/status/1907871500092244447 Technical fouls reset at the start of the playoffs, but there's a threshold of only seven before a player is suspended. One would hope that the officials have a higher standard to call them, but Tatum is obviously susceptible, with the way he reacts demonstratively to calls he doesn't like.
