Overview

  • Dillon Brooks received his 16th technical foul of the NBA season during the first quarter of the Rockets' game against the Utah Jazz on April 2, 2025.
  • The technical foul was assessed after Brooks kicked Jazz guard Collin Sexton near the groin during a play, following a brief review by officials.
  • Under NBA rules, accumulating 16 technical fouls triggers an automatic one-game suspension, pending review of the foul.
  • If the technical foul is upheld, Brooks will miss the Rockets' upcoming game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, April 4, 2025.
  • This incident follows Brooks' ejection three days earlier during a game against the Phoenix Suns for his involvement in a shoving match with Kevin Durant.
