Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic was cleared of a suspension after pleading guilty early over an on-court incident that had triggered an NBL charge. The decision allowed him to play 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 lacked the aggression needed and failed to compete hard enough. Melbourne United ended their recent slump with the win.
