Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic was cleared of a suspension after pleading guilty early over an on-court incident that had drawn an NBL charge. The decision saw him free to play against Melbourne United on 7 October.
His availability had no impact on the final result. Adelaide lost the match, with coach Gleeson saying the team looked timid out there and did not show enough fight. Melbourne United snapped a rough run of form with the win.
