The good news for the Suns is that Dillon Brooks<\/a> is not listed on their injury report after the technical foul he was issued in Sunday\u2019s victory was rescinded by the NBA<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n

Of course, it would have been Brooks\u2019 16thtechnical foul of the season which would have triggered an automatic one-game suspension for the veteran guard, though he will play on Tuesday after it was rescinded.<\/p>\n
