Overview
- The league nullified Brooks’ third-quarter technical from the Suns’ loss to Miami after a review of the heated sequence with Norman Powell.
- Lead official Ed Malloy issued the original tech at 3:38 of the third quarter, but Brooks now stands at 14 technicals rather than 15.
- At 14 technical fouls, Brooks remains the league leader and sits two away from the 16th that triggers a fine and an automatic one-game suspension.
- Miami won 127-121, with Bam Adebayo scoring 29 points, Norman Powell adding 27, and Brooks leading Phoenix with 25 on 11-for-24 shooting.
- A late review ruled Brooks committed a flagrant after grabbing Andrew Wiggins’ arm, and he later criticized what he called a referee ‘stigma’ as Suns owner Mat Ishbia publicly backed him.
