Dillon Brooks (Houston Rockets)
Suspended for Friday’s game vs. Thunder (following tech foul on Wednesday vs. Jazz)
Brooks received an automatic one-game suspension after being called for his 16th technical foul of the season.
The incident occurred early in the game when Brooks, posting up Utah’s Collin Sexton, kicked his leg out and appeared to strike Sexton near the groin. The play was reviewed and resulted in a technical foul, triggering the suspension rule. Brooks had hoped the league would rescind the call, but the suspension was confirmed by NBA EVP Joe Dumars.
