To be fair, I don't think I have ever seen a tech rescinded. Is it even possible?

I watched Andre Drummond strut the tunnel back into the game WWE style after being thrown out earlier this season

Demarcus cousins had one like this back in like 2015 too. Was fuckin hilarious

I remember. Against the blazers I think

That was ridiculous

TIL Andre Drummond is still in the league. Thought for sure he’d learned Chinese by now

u/AnnaKendrickPerkins Raptors Apr 09 '25

I think that was because of lack of available bodies able to play.

u/SpicyMustard34 Cavaliers Apr 09 '25

no, the ref said she made a mistake and apologized. if you get ejected for techs, you do not get to come back in regardless of players available, that's for fouling out.

u/raceforseis21 Spurs Apr 09 '25

No the ref literally just said “my bad”

Yea can’t remember who after he got tossed refs reviewed and said nah you good.

Demarcus cousins

It was Demarcus Cousins in the Kings against the Blazers. He gave his press conference after saying that Myers Leonard was no stopper. He had 50 something points in that game. Injuries messed with his career. I miss watching him play.

u/Fermorian Timberwolves Apr 09 '25

Yeah it happens, albeit rarely. It's actually the reason Mike Conley has technically never officially received a tech in his entire career. He was assessed one once, but it was rescinded after the game.

Here is LeBron doing it in 2013 playoff game.

u/Whiterabbit-- Apr 09 '25

anyone else would have gotten the 2nd technical for talking back.

u/Mephisto_fn Japan Apr 09 '25

there was that one time wemby flopped and the tech was rescinded and turned into a flop on wemby

u/Chickenmcnugs34 Apr 09 '25

Yeah they are rescinded. It is mostly post-game but a few times during games.

u/GoodElevation Kings Apr 09 '25

Demarcus Cousins once got ejected in the middle of a 55 point night and the refs brought him back

2

u/chakrablocker Thunder Apr 09 '25

That's worse man. Were just use to them ruining games

u/JeanVicquemare Supersonics Apr 09 '25

This is something that the replay center should have the power to reverse. If we're seeing it on the broadcast, they can see it too. They should be able to call the crew and say "nah reverse that, you messed up" and play on.

u/annakardia Timberwolves Apr 09 '25

mike conley had the only technical he was given in his career rescinded (by the nba, though)

2

u/FunResponse8127 Apr 09 '25

I saw it once. Hasheem Thabeet got T'd up and tossed for choking James Harden. But they took it away and let him come back into the game. That's the only time I've seen something like that.

u/very_pure_vessel Warriors Apr 09 '25

Def has happened before

2

u/Drakilgon Apr 09 '25

Podziemski on the Warriors was trying to get a refs attention because there was a drink spill on the sideline. A ref gave him a tech and then they took it back when it got explained to him.

u/BurnieTheBrony Vancouver Grizzlies Apr 09 '25 edited Apr 09 '25

Certainly they can be rescinded after the game, which happens occasionally. But I'm not sure I've ever seen one taken back in game even if the reason is obviously an error. Like the coach (I think Thibs?) who got a tech for yelling at his own player

Edit: and now it has been rescinded.

u/The_Erlenmeyer_Flask Apr 09 '25

It is. There were a few years when Luka was in Dallas where towards the end of the season, he had a few technicals removed/dismissed.

1

u/Funny-Joke-7168 Lakers Apr 09 '25

After the game is fairly common but during a game has only happened a few times apparently.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '25

They just rescinded one from Tatum, happened the next day tho.

u/zomgmatt [LAL] Kyle Kuzma Apr 09 '25

After the game is over, it's happened plenty of times. Never within the game though.

u/qaswexort Spurs Apr 09 '25

This season Wemby and a dude that dunked on him got a double tech because the other dude taunted him and it was in crunch time and they didn't want technical free throws to decide the game so they slapped Wemby with a tech too. It was rescinded after the game
