Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks found himself in legal trouble early Friday morning when Scottsdale police detained him on suspected drunk driving charges.<\/p>\n

According to law enforcement records, officers pulled over Brooks around 1 a.m. Friday in Scottsdale. Following the traffic stop, he was taken into custody and transported to jail before being released hours later.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix Suns organization acknowledged the incident in an official statement: \u201cWe are aware of the situation involving Dillon Brooks and are gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old player has been absent from the team\u2019s lineup for the last five contests due to a fractured left hand sustained during Phoenix\u2019s February 21 victory against Orlando. Medical projections indicated he would miss four to six weeks of action.<\/p>\n

Should Brooks remain out for the full six-week recovery period, he would potentially return to action in early April, just before the regular season concludes on April 12.<\/p>\n

In his debut season with Phoenix, Brooks has posted career-high numbers, contributing 21.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game across 50 appearances, all as a starter.<\/p>\n

Throughout his NBA career spanning time with Memphis (2017-23), Houston (2023-25), and now Phoenix, Brooks has compiled averages of 14.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over 542 games, starting 515 of them.<\/p>\n
