Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic avoided suspension after entering an early guilty plea over an on-court incident that had triggered 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 went down in the contest, 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.
