US EditionWhat 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%.
