Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic was cleared of a suspension after entering an early guilty plea over an in-game incident that had drawn 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 played "scared" and failed to compete hard enough. Melbourne United broke out of a difficult stretch with the win.
