Overview
- Brooks’ first-half technical from Tuesday’s Suns–Nets game was overturned by the league, removing the immediate risk of a one-game suspension tied to his technical-foul count.
- Brooks still faces suspension risk under the flagrant-points system after a Flagrant 1 for striking Nic Claxton in the midsection, his fourth Flagrant 1 of the season.
- A late scramble with 1:14 left saw Nets rookie Egor Dëmin shove Brooks, prompting a benches-clearing scuffle and five technicals on Dëmin, Terance Mann, Michael Porter Jr., Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale.
- Phoenix won 106-102 with Mark Williams scoring 27 and Brooks adding 26, offsetting Porter’s 36 for Brooklyn in a physical, review-heavy finish.
- Nets coach Jordi Fernández said Ziaire Williams was hurt during the melee and the team is assessing the injury.
