Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic was cleared of a suspension after pleading guilty early over an in-game 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 fell to defeat, with coach Gleeson saying the team played "scared" and failed to compete hard enough. Melbourne United snapped a rough run of form with the win.
