Technical Foul on Bryant Is Voided

A technical foul on Kobe Bryant on Friday against Seattle has been rescinded by the league, leaving him three, not two, away from an automatic one-game suspension.

Bryant was called for the technical after putting the ball in the chest of referee Greg Willard a little too hard for Willard's liking. A league spokesman declined to comment, other than to confirm that the foul had been withdrawn.

Bryant, who now officially has 13 technical fouls, will be suspended without pay for a game if he picks up a 16th technical. Every two technical fouls beyond that (18, 20, 22) will also result in a one-game suspension without pay, as per guidelines of the progressive technical foul rule installed this season by the league.

"He's got to show restraint," Coach Phil Jackson said Tuesday. "His last one was ludicrous. He's kind of like a marked guy now."

Detroit Piston forward Rasheed Wallace was suspended for Tuesday's game against New Orleans after picking up his 16th technical foul in the Pistons' previous game.


The refs truely need to stop this shit...Give us a chance!
