Dillon Brooks News: Issued 16th tech, suspension likely
Brooks was assessed his 16th technical foul of the season during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder, triggering an automatic one-game suspension if the NBA doesn't rescind the technical, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Barring an overturn by league officials, Brooks will serve his suspension when the Suns return from the All-Star break, meaning he'll miss the team's Feb. 19 matchup with the Spurs. With Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) getting the night off in the second leg of a back-to-back set, Brooks stepped up with 23 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 24 minutes inWednesday's loss.
