Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic was cleared of a suspension after pleading guilty early over an court-side incident that had resulted in 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 lost the match, with coach Gleeson saying the team lacked the aggression needed and did not show enough fight. Melbourne United ended their recent slump with the win.
