The Suns forward has had his fair share of run-ins with the officials throughout his career, and he has developed a reputation for himself.

However, Brooks had not committed anything more than three common fouls on Friday night prior to his ejection.

The veteran was off to a red-hot start shooting the basketball. Brooks had 12 points in the first quarter on 5-for-7 shooting and had 20 points by halftime with four made 3s.

Brooks’ night ended with 22 points on 9 of 12 from the field, with two assists, one rebound and one steal.
