NBA rescinds 18th technical foul against Dillon Brooks, making Suns star eligible to play vs. Rockets
Dillon Brooks is clear to play Tuesday night.
After being limited to just 53 games this season, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks needs to be on the court as much as possible to gel with his teammates ahead of the playoffs. He’ll get another opportunity to do that Tuesday vs. the Houston Rockets, though it initially looked as though Brooks would have to miss the contest.
The NBA rescinded what would have been Brooks’ 18th technical foul of the season, the league announced Monday. Because of that, Brooks will be allowed to play when the Suns take the court against the Rockets on Tuesday.
