Tough Break for Dillon Brooks in His Best Season Yet
Tough Break for Dillon Brooks in His Best Season Yet
The Phoenix Suns are turning heads this season! After losing Kevin Durant and parting ways with Bradley Beal, they’ve surprisingly found themselves battling for a playoff spot, defying all expectations. And guess what? Dillon Brooks has been a key player in this unexpected revival. But just when things were looking up, he’s hit with a major setback: he’s out for four to six weeks!
Brooks suffered a nasty hand injury during the first quarter of a game against the Orlando Magic, and now he’s parading around in a cast like it’s the new fashion trend. Talk about a tough break for a player who was having the season of his career!
This year, he’s been averaging 21 points with a stellar 50% field goal percentage—both career highs! He was lighting it up with a newfound swagger on one-on-one plays and mid-range shots, making him a valuable asset for any NBA team. Meanwhile, the Suns are comfortably sitting in seventh place, which is, let’s be honest, about as comfy as sitting on a bed of nails in the play-in tournament.
But hold up! With Brooks sidelined and Devin Booker’s hit-or-miss performances, the Timberwolves and Lakers are breathing a little easier. And you can bet the Warriors are feeling a bit more confident too!
