Tue Mar 3106:51Dillon Brooks Ready to Return Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Dillon Brooks (hand) will return to action on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. He hasn't played since Feb. 21 due to a fractured hand. Brooks has had a big campaign in Phoenix, taking his offensive game to another level. He is averaging a career-high 20.9 points per game, along with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals. His return will bump either Royce O'Neale or Collin Gillespie to the second unit. Over the final stretch, Brooks may not be as productive as before due to Jalen Green's presence.

Mon Feb 2317:57Dillon Brooks Set to Miss 4-6 Weeks
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (hand) will miss 4-to-6 weeks due to sustaining a broken left hand during Saturday's 113-110 win over the Orlando Magic. Brooks earliest return to action would be in late March if he is cleared to play by then. The 30-year-old has been outstanding this season, averaging a career-high 21.2 points with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. While Brooks is sidelined, fantasy managers can expect Collin Gillespie, Jalen Green, and Grayson Allen to lead the offense, especially with Devin Booker (hip) also out for a few more games.

Sat Feb 2123:16Dillon Brooks Suffers a Broken Hand
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks sustained a broken left hand in Saturday's double-overtime win over the Magic. He is projected to be out "for an extended period of time," although he will meet with physicians on Sunday to "determine an exact timetable." The 30-year-old has played exceptionally well this season, averaging a career-high 21.2 points with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. With Devin Booker (hip) out at least a week, losing Brooks is a tough blow to the Suns, a team looking to remain in the Play-In conversation. At any rate, fantasy managers can expect Collin Gillespie, Jalen Green, and Grayson Allen to lead the offense, at least until Booker is back in the mix. Jordan Goodwin, amassing 17 points versus Orlando, should also gain attention from fantasy managers.

Mon Dec 8 202511:27Dillon Brooks Iffy for Monday Night
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (Achilles) popped up on the team's injury report with a sore Achilles ahead of the team's Monday night contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran wing has been enjoying one of his best seasons to date with averages of 22.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.3 threes per game. He's been seeing added minutes with Devin Booker (groin) and Jalen Green (hamstring) sidelined. If Brooks can't suit up, however, Ryan Dunn could join the starting five while Royce O'Neale and Jordan Goodwin see some added opportunities. Dunn has started in 11 of his 18 games played while posting 8.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.

Sat Nov 8 202511:08Dillon Brooks Questionable vs. Clippers
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (core muscle strain) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers after missing the team's last six games. Brooks opened the season strong, averaging 19.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in three appearances while firing 10.3 triples per game. His scoring aggression and defensive intensity gave Phoenix a much-needed edge on the wing before the injury halted his momentum. If Brooks returns, he should immediately slot back into a key role alongside Devin Booker and Jalen Green, likely reclaiming 30-plus minutes as a high-usage perimeter option. Fantasy managers should stash or re-add him where available, as his scoring volume and defensive contributions fit well in both points and category formats. With the Suns leaning on Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale in his absence, Brooks' return would stabilize their rotation and restore his mid-tier fantasy appeal.

Thu Nov 6 202508:34Dillon Brooks Misses Sixth Consecutive Game
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (core muscle) will remain sidelined for Thursday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. After making only three appearances at the start of the season, Brooks landed on the shelf with a core muscle strain. Royce O'Neale is likely to remain in the starting unit on Thursday; however, the return of Jalen Green (hamstring) may cause Suns head coach Jordan Ott to reconsider his options. Since joining the starting unit, O'Neale has delivered solid all-around fantasy production, averaging 13.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 2.0 steals.

Sat Nov 1 202521:51Dillon Brooks to Miss Fourth Straight Game Sunday
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (groin) will remain out for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, missing a fourth consecutive contest. Since Brooks' exit from the lineup, Royce O'Neale has delivered a series of strong performances in a starting role and should remain on fantasy radars for Sunday night. Ryan Dunn's playing time has also increased, and he'll carry positive momentum into Sunday's matchup after recording his first double-double of the season in Friday's win over the Utah Jazz.

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (core muscle) will sit out a third consecutive game on Friday against the Utah Jazz. He's nursing a core muscle strain.

Over the past two games, O'Neale has averaged 17.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.5 steals. Nigel Hayes-Davis and Isaiah Livers have also seen more action, but they haven't been productive enough to be considered viable fantasy options.

Tue Oct 28 202521:17Dillon Brooks to Remain Out Wednesday
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (groin) will miss Wednesday's meeting with his former team, the Memphis Grizzlies. Following a very productive start to the season, Brooks injured his groin and will be sidelined for a second consecutive game.

He led the Suns with 13 rebounds, adding 17 points, seven assists, and five steals during a 138-134 overtime loss. O'Neale will continue to have extra fantasy value on Wednesday night, although the possible return of Jalen Green (hamstring) could lead to changes in the rotation.

Sun Oct 26 202520:04Dillon Brooks Listed as Questionable for Monday
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He may be forced to miss his first game of the season due to a groin problem. Brooks is known as a defensive pest, but he's had a larger offensive role on the Suns squad with Jalen Green (hamstring) out of action at the start of the season. Through three games, Brooks has averaged 19.3 points in 30.3 minutes. He already has two 20-point games for the campaign despite struggling with his shooting. If Brooks sits out Monday's action, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn, and Nigel Hayes-Davis may see increased playing time in the rotation.

Sun Jun 22 202513:52Dillon Brooks Moved to Suns
Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks was traded as part of a blockbuster trade to land Kevin Durant on Sunday. The Rockets are trading Brooks, Jalen Green, the 10th overall pick in 2025, and five future second-round picks in exchange for Durant. Brooks played a majority of his career with the Memphis Grizzlies before landing in Houston two seasons ago. He averaged 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists last season. Brooks is more known for his defensive ability, which should help this Suns team that was awful on defense last season. His offensive numbers might take a hit in Phoenix, but Brooks should still be able to offer standard league value, assuming he gets regular playing time.

Mon Mar 3 202519:48Dillon Brooks Out On Monday
Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (knee) will not be in the lineup on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been downgraded from questionable to out as Brooks has not recovered from a right knee contusion. He joins Fred VanVleet (ankle), Amen Thompson (shoulder), and Alperen Sengun (back) on the sidelines, leaving the Rockets extremely short-handed for Monday's contest. Jabari Smith Jr., Cam Whitmore, and Aaron Holiday are expected to take on expanded roles in the game. This is the first game of a back-to-back set, so it's possible that Houston could have most of its missing pieces back for Tuesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

Wed Nov 6 202415:38Dillon Brooks Questionable Wednesday With Illness
Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday night's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Brooks is dealing with an illness. If forced to miss tonight's game it would be the first game he's missed all season. The 28-year-old is averaging 11.4 PPG and 4.0 RPG this season. His moderate offensive production won't be what's missed most, though, as Brooks' defensive presence will be the glaring issue for Houston if absent. Houston holds a 104.5 defensive rating with Brooks on the court and a 124.9 defensive rating with him off. If Brooks is unable to suit up, expect Amen Thompson to be inserted into the starting lineup with fellow forward Tari Eason also listed as questionable for tonight. Thompson is averaging 10.0 PPG and 5.9 RPG while the Rockets hold a 110.4 defensive rating with him on the floor, making him a suitable defensive replacement for Brooks.

Brooks struggled during the season opener as he only connected on 1-of-6 field goal attempts. The 28-year-old finished with two points and three rebounds across 31 minutes of action. Brooks has some deep league value, but isn't worth rostering in most fantasy formats right now.
