Dillon Brooks Ejected From Game 3
2 years agoMemphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks hit the showers early Saturday after he was ejected from Game 3 against the Lakers for hitting LeBron James in the groin area. He was called for a flagrant foul 2 only 17 seconds into the second half. Brooks is now the only player in franchise history to be ejected from multiple playoff games. It's his third ejection of the season, and with that, Brooks matches Boston's Marcus Smart and Sacramento's Malik Monk for the most ejections in 2022-23, including the playoffs. The 27-year-old was booed by the Lakers fans throughout Saturday's contest for trash-talking about James earlier in the week, and it appeared to have had a major effect on Brooks' play, as he shot only 3-for-13 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep during a seven-point performance.
