What is the NBA record for the most technical fouls in a season?
In the NBA, a technical foul is assessed for unsportsmanlike conduct, such as arguing with an official, using profanity, or excessive complaining. Players can also receive technical fouls for physical contact with opponents or officials. In general, technical fouls are seen as a negative mark against a player, as they can result in ejections, fines, and even suspensions.
The NBA record for most technical fouls in a season is held by Rasheed Wallace, who received a whopping 41 technical fouls during the 2000-2001 season while playing for the Portland Trail Blazers. This record was particularly notable because it broke the previous record of 40 technical fouls, set by another player on the Trail Blazers, Bonzi Wells, just one season earlier.
Wallace’s record-breaking season was marked by a number of high-profile incidents, including several ejections and a one-game suspension for accumulating too many technical fouls. Another player who has raked in a lot of negative attention for his tendency to rack up technical fouls lately is the Memphis Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks – although he is a far way off Wallace’s tally.
Memphis Grizzlies guard-forward Dillon Brooks has recently been suspended for one game without pay for receiving his 18th technical foul of the ongoing 2022-23 season.
Brooks picked up his 18th technical foul of the season during the Grizzlies’ 112-108 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Brooks will serve his suspension for a game without pay on Wednesday, March 22 when the Grizzlies play host to the Houston Rockets at FedExForum.
As per the current NBA rules, a player or coach is automatically suspended without pay for one game once he receives his 16th technical foul during a regular season. For every two additional technical fouls received during that regular season, the player or coach will be automatically suspended without pay for an additional game.
