Dillon Brooks gets early technical foul in return from injury vs. Magic, another suspension looms

It didn’t take more than two minutes into his return for Tuesday night’s 115-111 loss to the Orlando Magic for Phoenix Suns’ Dillon Brooks to collect a technical foul.

At 10:31 in the first quarter, Brooks was teed up by an official after Wendell Carter Jr. stole the ball from him.

Because Brooks has already reached the 16 allowance for an automatic one-game suspension, every two additional technicals will earn him one-game suspensions.

Dillon Brooks gets hit with 2 quick fouls and gets hit with a technical foul within the first two minutes of Suns-Magic.
