Kevin Durant has technical foul rescinded, returns to 14 for season image

Kevin Durant was called for a technical foul in the OKC Thunder's 119-118 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors. It was his 15th of the season, which put him one technical away from an automatic one-game suspension.

Durant was called for the technical with 27 seconds left in the second quarter after tangling with Toronto's Jonas Valanciunas on a free throw.

That call has since been rescinded, placing Durant back at 14 technical fouls for the season and two away from suspension, Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman reports.

Durant was called for only 12 technical fouls in his first five NBA seasons, including a rookie season in Seattle during which he wasn't called for a single technical. That number jumped to 12 last season and sits at 14 with this most recent technical being rescinded.
