Suns’ Brooks to miss 4-6 weeks after surgery
“We are aware of the situation involving Dillon Brooks and are gathering more information,” the Phoenix Suns stated in a statement released to ESPN. “We have no further comment at this time.”
Brooks, 30, has missed Phoenix’s last five games due to a fractured left hand suffered in a Feb. 21 win over Orlando, but he’s expected to return near the end of the regular season.
Brooks is averaging 20.9 points, 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 Rockets during the offseason.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.
