Suns’ Brooks to miss 4-6 weeks after surgery
Brooks, 30, has missed Phoenix’s past five games with a fractured left hand suffered in a Feb. 21 win over the Orlando Magic, but he is expected to return near the end of the regular season.
He is averaging 20.9 points per game, an increase in scoring by 6.9 points from last season, in addition to 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and one steal. He came to the Suns as part of the trade that sent 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets during the offseason.
