Mark Dickel will be available to play for the Tall Blacks in their must-win Olympic basketball qualifier against Australia on Friday night in Brisbane.
The veteran guard was involved in an ugly skirmish in New Zealand's 91-78 defeat in game one of the three-game series, and was ejected from the match. It was his second incident of a fiery game.
But officials from world basketball's governing body Fiba confirmed they wouldn't be taking further action, making him eligible to play in Brisbane.
The Tall Blacks need to win to keep alive any hopes of earning direct qualification to next year's Olympics. Defeat will mean heading into a difficult repechage against other losing nations just one month out from the Games.
Dickel picked up two fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second half of last night's match. The second was particularly ugly, with the 34-year-old launching at Boomers' player Matthew Dellavedova in the final quarter.
