NBA Hits Suns Star With Massive Fine
This article was originally published on www.si.com/nba/suns/onsi as NBA Hits Suns Star With Massive Fine. Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has been fined $35,000 by the NBA for "inappropiate language" to officials on Friday.
Brooks fouled out of the game with 18 seconds left with a team-high 22 points and Phoenix down a point. Collin Gillespie hit a short pull-up with 6.7 seconds left as the Suns closed on a 9-0 run in the game’s final 49 seconds.
On Friday, the Suns earned a thrilling victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning by a final score of 114-113 to improve their record to 10-6. Brooks had another impressive outing, logging 22 points with five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 37 minutes.
Phoenix Suns’ viral young fan is back, stealing the spotlight during Phoenix’s win over the Timberwolves and capturing hearts once again.
Phoenix landed Durant in a blockbuster deal before the 2023 trade deadline. The Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and four first-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets for TJ Warren and Durant.
The 40-year-old Chris Paul is playing his 21st season with the Los Angeles Clippers and led the Phoenix Suns during their 2021 NBA Finals run.
The Minnesota Timberwolves lost an eight-point lead in the final 50 seconds Friday night in Phoenix during a 114-113 NBA Cup loss to the upstart Suns. They lost something else over the final minute and a half, too, according to Wolves head coach Chris Finch.
The Suns also received a small bump in NBA.com's power rankings, moving from No. 17 to 16. "The Suns will visit the 6-7 Blazers on Tuesday and then play eight of their next nine games against teams with winning records (seven of the nine against top-10 offenses)," wrote John Schuhmann.
