Rakocevic to accept early plea

Adelaide 36ers centre Nick Rakocevic will be free to face Melbourne United on Wednesday night after he entered an early guilty plea to a striking charge.

Rakocevic was cited following an incident during Wednesday's game against the New Zealand Breakers game.

The NBL’s Game Review Panel classified Rakocevic's conduct as intentional, low impact, and high contact.

The base penalty is a one-game suspension, but with an early guilty plea he has instead accepted a $1,550 fine.

Tip off on Wednesday night is at 7:00pm ACDT
