Dillon Brooks, the NBA’s leader in technical fouls, has received his 18th of the season, putting him on track to miss the Memphis Grizzlies’ next game against the Houston Rockets. He received the foul after taunting the Mavericks’ bench during the team’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. Brooks was previously suspended for one game after receiving his 16th technical foul of the season during the Grizzlies’ road loss at Denver. He was also fined $35,000 for shoving a cameraman on the sideline during the Grizzlies’ game against Miami. The team has the option to request that the NBA rescind Brooks’ technical foul from Monday’s game, but Coach Taylor Jenkins expressed skepticism about the appeal succeeding. Despite his reputation for technical fouls, Brooks remains focused on performing his best on the court. The Grizzlies are hoping for Ja Morant’s return to the court during their upcoming game against the Houston Rockets.
Memphis Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks received his 18th technical foul of the season during the team’s home game against the Dallas Mavericks. This puts him on track to miss the next game against the Houston Rockets due to a one-game suspension. According to NBA rules, a player who receives their 16th technical foul is fined $5,000 for every additional technical foul and suspended for one game on every second technical foul. Brooks’ foul was given after he drove past Dallas star Kyrie Irving and dunked over forward Maxi Kleiber. Brooks then taunted the Mavericks’ bench, which earned him the technical foul from veteran referee Tony Brothers.
Despite Brooks’ role as the league’s leader in technical fouls, he maintains that he is not bothered by his villainous reputation. In fact, he uses it as motivation to perform at his best on the court. The Grizzlies are hoping that Ja Morant will return to the court in their upcoming game against the Houston Rockets. Morant was suspended for eight games but has since returned to practice and addressed his teammates.
Brooks previously received an automatic one-game suspension when he reached 16 technical fouls for the season during the Grizzlies’ road loss at Denver on March 4. He missed a game against the Los Angeles Clippers on March 6 as a result. Brooks is known for his lock-down defense and recently put in a strong performance against the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, adding to his case for being selected for the All-Defensive team.
Dillon Brooks received his 17th technical foul during the Memphis Grizzlies’ game against the San Antonio Spurs, and was fined $35,000 for shoving a cameraman on the sideline during the Grizzlies’ game against Miami.
