Overview
- The NBA announced a $35,000 fine for Dillon Brooks for confronting and directing inappropriate language toward officials after Phoenix’s 114-113 win over Minnesota on Nov. 21.
- Brooks fouled out with 18 seconds left after scoring a team-high 22 points in the comeback, which ended on a 9-0 Suns run capped by a Collin Gillespie jumper with 6.7 seconds remaining.
- Earlier this month, the league fined Brooks $25,000 for making a lewd on-court gesture during a Nov. 13 win over the Pacers.
- Brooks leads the NBA with four technical fouls through Nov. 19, and league rules escalate fines with a one-game suspension triggered at 16 technicals.
- Last season he logged 16 technical fouls, second-most in the league, and he arrived in Phoenix in the Kevin Durant trade that also brought Jalen Green and No. 10 pick Khaman Maluach.
