Dillon Brooks’ technical foul vs. Nets rescinded by NBA

The NBA rescinded Dillon Brooks’ technical foul picked up in the Phoenix Suns’ 106-102 win over the Brooklyn Nets, the league announced Wednesday.

It marks the third technical foul Brooks has had rescinded this year.

He now sits at 14 techs on the season, just two away from triggering a one-game suspension. Phoenix has 35 games left to play this season.

“I just feel like that play wouldn’t have happened if they blew their whistle with the foul called, because it ended up being a foul call and then they had to give me a T after because I’m trying to get the guy off me,” Brooks told reporters postgame.

The technical foul call came with just 27 seconds left in the first half. According to crew chief Curtis Blair in a pool report with Arizona Sports’ Kellan Olson, the technical was due to Brooks pushing Egor Dёmin to the ground after a loose ball foul.

Brooks wasn’t just called for a technical in Tuesday’s game. He also picked up a flagrant 1 call in the first quarter for making illegal contact with Nic Claxton while going for a loose ball.

Brooks currently has four on the season. Two more flagrant 1s or a flagrant 2 would result in a one-game suspension.

Brooks was Phoenix’s second-leading scorer in Tuesday’s win behind 26 points on 9-of-15 shooting. He added three rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 34 minutes of work.

Phoenix is back in action Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. The game tips off at 7 p.m. and can be heard on the Arizona Sports app, 98.7 and arizonasports.com.
