Brooks will be out for the near future with a broken hand. No timetable for his return has been established yet. Shams Charania of ESPN <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/2025384571647254645\" rel=\"nofollow\">broke the news today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks has sustained a broken left hand and will be sidelined, sources tell ESPN. Doctors will meet to determine a timetable. Brooks is a key part to the playoff-contending Suns, averaging 21+ points and 3+ rebounds this season. Difficult injury blow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Suns hold a somewhat-surprising 32-24 record, good for 7th in the NBA\u2019s Western Conference, after being forecasted as a lottery team prior to the season. They stand 5.5 games ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers, whom they will face on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brooks is Phoenix\u2019s second-leading scorer behind All-Star Devin Booker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phoenix Suns got some difficult news about wing Dillon Brooks this weekend.
