Brooks (groin) will not play Sunday against the Spurs.
This will be the fourth game in a row on the shelf for Brooks, though he's considered day-to-day for the time being. Royce O'Neale and Ryan Dunn are likely to continue to soak up a ton of minutes at the forward spots for Phoenix in Brooks' absence.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Four steals in Denver
Rotowire
Brooks chipped in 15 points (6-18 FG, 3-13 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 133-111 loss to the Nuggets.
The 29-year-old wing has been flashing his defensive skills to begin his tenure with the Suns, recording multiple steals -- and eight in total -- in his first three games of the season. Brooks has also been more involved in the offense than usual while the team waits for Jalen Green (hamstring) to get healthy, attempting double-digit three-pointers in back-to-back contests and averaging 19.3 points and 3.0 threes so far.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Posts team-high 21 points
Rotowire
Brooks chipped in 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Clippers.
Devin Booker was struggling throughout the contest, so Brooks took it upon himself to get the offense going. He drilled five three-pointers in the loss and had a great all-around performance, proving his worth for s second consecutive game. He's taken 41 shots over the first two games of the season, so perhaps he'll have a slightly more offensive role with his new team.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Impresses with 22 points
Rotowire
Brooks chipped in 22 points (9-24 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 win over the Kings.
Although Brooks' shot was a bit off in the opener, he executed well on the defensive end. Brooks appears to be locked into a first-unit role, as the return of Jalen Green (hamstring) will have a greater effect on Ryan Dunn's current spot in the rotation. Given the starting role with his new team, Brooks should receive additional consideration in all fantasy formats.

Suns' Dillon Brooks: Green light for Wednesday
Rotowire
Brooks (face) is available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Brooks needed six stitches after a collision in Saturday's practice, but that won't prevent him from suiting up against the Kings. The veteran swingman is projected to be Phoenix's starting power forward in 2025-26, but his fantasy value will likely be held back by his lack of production across the board. Brooks averaged 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.5 three-pointers per game for Houston during last year's regular season.

Rotowire
Brooks (face) received six stitches Saturday after a collision in the day's practice, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Brooks took an elbow to the face during Saturday's practice but downplayed the severity of the injury. The veteran wing, who joined the Suns in June as part of the Kevin Durant trade with the Rockets, averaged 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 75 regular-season appearances last year. With the team set to open the 2025-26 season Wednesday against the Kings, the stitches Brooks received aren't expected to impact his availability.

Rotowire
Brooks logged 18 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, two steals and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's preseason win over Brooklyn.
It wasn't the most efficient shooting display, but Brooks filled the box score while working to shake off any potential offseason rust. The veteran swingman is set to be Phoenix's starting power forward in 2025-26, but his fantasy appeal will likely remain limited by his lack of contributions across the board. Brooks averaged 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.5 three-pointers per game for Houston during the regular season last year.

Brooks is coming off another solid season with the Rockets, and he's played a key role in Houston's recent resurgence.

Brooks accumulated three points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 115-107 win over the Warriors in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Brooks couldn't get it going offensively in Game 6, as the veteran forward was a non-factor in a must-win game on the road. He finished with the lowest point total (three) of any player why suited up on the Rockets besides Aaron Holiday, who had the same point production in six minutes off the bench. However, Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun helped pick up the slack in the scoring department, combining for 50 points.

Despite struggling with his outside shot, Brooks' 24 points represented his highest scoring output of the series so far. This was largely due to Brooks' eight free-throw attempts being as many as he had attempted in the previous three games total. Brooks is averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 30.4 minutes across the first five games of the Rockets' first-round playoff matchup with the Warriors.

Rotowire
Brooks notched 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 104-93 loss to the Warriors in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Brooks was limited to just 28 minutes in Game 3 after picking up four fouls in the first half. He was effective while on the floor and was the only Rockets starter not to finish with a negative point differential before fouling out at the 3:47 mark in the fourth quarter. Brooks has failed to play more than 30 minutes in each of his last two games, and the Rockets will need the veteran forward to stay out of foul trouble in Game 4 on Monday to help tie the series at two games apiece.

Brooks provided 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 victory over the Warriors in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Brooks was one of five players who scored in double figures for Houston on Wednesday. The defensive-minded forward was able to bounce back from a forgettable performance in Game 1, shooting 50 percent from the field, which helped propel his team to victory. The series is now shifting to San Francisco for the next two games, with many questions surrounding the status of Warriors star Jimmy Butler (pelvis) after a nasty fall that resulted in him missing all but eight minutes of Game 2.
