What Happened to Dillon Brooks? Suns Star's Mid-Game Exit vs Magic Explored

Dillon Brooks was removed from Saturday's game and later confirmed to have a broken left hand; Phoenix Suns medical staff will meet Sunday to set a recovery timetable.
Brooks grabbed his non‑shooting left hand after a contested jumper where Wendell Carter Jr. appeared to make contact, checking out with 4:46 left in the first quarter and not returning.
Brooks played seven minutes and recorded five points and three rebounds before exiting; Jalen Green hit a buzzer-beating 3 in the second overtime to lift the Suns to a 113-110 victory, and Ryan Dunn entered the rotation after Brooks left.
With Devin Booker already sidelined, Brooks' injury increases pressure on Phoenix as they sit two games back of the Timberwolves for a top‑six seed, and Ryan Dunn replaced Brooks immediately.
Projections place a broken‑hand recovery at one to two months, and the team will likely lean on a guard whose health is near 100%.
