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 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 failed to compete hard enough. Melbourne United snapped a rough run of form with the win.
