Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks has been suspended one game without pay for receiving his 18th technical foul this season, the league’s PR department tweets.
Brooks will serve his suspension on Wednesday when the Grizzlies host the Rockets.
Brooks has already served a one-game suspension for racking up excessive technicals. For every two additional technical fouls he receives, he’ll be subject to another automatic suspension.
He’ll lose $78,621 for the latest suspension and has now been fined a total of $336,863 this season, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, via Spotrac (Twitter link).
Brooks’ latest technical was assessed during the third quarter of the Grizzlies’ 112-108 victory over the Mavericks on Monday. He was T’d up for for taunting Dallas’ bench after a dunk and the league chose to not rescind the technical.
Oh now we want to punish the boys for getting excited. Why don’t we just make them play in tuxedos and tell the crowd to be silent! This is an outrage!

You sound like his dad who pretends my son is innocent. Brooks is a punk and guess who his idol was in college? That is right Draymond Green
Yeah and now he makes Draymond look like a fool!

Lmao ‘justice for Dillon’ I didn’t know he was dead?
He isn’t dead peabrain. But the media is trying to erase him by attacking his character, just like they did to my boy Ja.

Preach
Lil D seems very sensitive. I hope he buys a lot of tissues once they are knocked out in the first round.
Yeah? Well you buy tissues to stuff your shirt and make you look like you have muscles so you can prance around and impress your friends.
i am not Tom Fritton. Lil D needs the tissues to stuff down his pants to feel good about himself
brooks is mini Draymond
Drugs are bad mmmmmmmmkay?
Much like when Dray got suspended, zero shock here. Only question will be how many more are coming.
The pnly thing shocking here is that it hasn’t happened earlier in the season…
Kid has an attitude problem…
I know right. Basketball players should he more polite. Maybe he can say please before he goes in for a rebound too.
Ok Randy… Go enjoy sarcastaball…
Damn Silver really got a vendetta against Memphis. Memphis the best team in the league but the league ain’t ready for them. They trying everything to sabotage them.
Thank you someone gets it
Lmmfao
This is right up there with Kyrie and the Earth is flat…
Don’t you dare
Ok Kyrie go back to the crazy conspiracies forum where more people will agree with ya…
Silver needs to hold player accountable for their actions. The league has always wanted players to have integrity and be well behaved. For some reason kids look up to them as mentors. Brooks seems to be proud to be a misfit. They should kick him out of the league and he can began his pro wrestling career. Or he can go play in China or Russia. Not a fan of dumba**es.
So you should be kicked out of the league for getting technical fouls? Lol what’s the weather like up there on Mars, brother?
