Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic escaped a ban after pleading guilty early over an on-court incident that had resulted in an NBL charge. The decision cleared him to take the court against Melbourne United on 7 October.
His availability had no impact on the final result. Adelaide fell to defeat, with coach Gleeson saying the team looked timid out there and came up short on effort. Melbourne United snapped a rough run of form with the win.
