Dillon Brooks Scores 20 Points In Season Debut
3 years agoMemphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks posted a strong 20-point performance during his season debut in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. The 25-year-old returned to the lineup after missing the first 10 games of the season with a broken left hand. Brooks shot 8-for-17 from the field, including 4-for-7 from three-point range. The Oregon product also chipped in with four rebounds, six assists, and two steals during 26 minutes. Brooks' return further complicates the Memphis backcourt, as guards Desmond Bane and De'Anthony Melton have had strong starts to the season. Coach Taylor Jenkins will surely ride the hot hand, and it'll be extremely difficult for all three to have sustained value the entire season.

Dillon Brooks Sidelined Again On Friday Night
3 months agoHouston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his third-consecutive absence. The 28-year-old has had a decent season, averaging 13.6 points. However, his abilities on the defensive end are what Houston have missed the most. With Tari Eason (leg) questionable, the team could look to Cam Whitmore to take on some minutes from off the bench. Whitemore is coming off a potent outing, scoring 27 points and shooting 4-for-8 from behind the arc in Thursday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
