Suns wing Dillon Brooks was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Friday morning. His teammates say Brooks apologized to them for his actions, according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic.
“Just hate to see it for him, but he’s human. We’re all humans,” Collin Gillespie said. “We’re not above anybody else. We all make mistakes. He knows that. He owned it He apologized to the team, but we got his back. Human beings make mistakes, we all make mistakes. Learn from it. He’s just in the public eye more than any other regular human being. That stuff goes on every day and you just don’t hear about it from other people because it’s not ‘Dillon Brooks’ per se.”
Brooks, who is sidelined with a fractured hand, was in attendance for the Suns game on Friday but didn’t speak to the media.
“I know he feels really bad about it,” Grayson Allen said. “I’m sure whenever he feels like he needs to say something, he’ll say something, but we’re still focusing on what we can do on the court with him out. We want to get him back and hold it down in the meantime.”
Here’s more from the Pacific Division:
- The Suns barely held off the Pelicans, 118-116, on Friday. Rookie lottery pick Khaman Maluach had a career-high five blocks in a season-high 20 minutes after posting 10 in his previous 27 games. “The biggest thing is just that he knows he’s getting consistent minutes,” coach Jordan Ott said, per Rankin. “Hopefully, the first-game jitters of being in there were out after last night. Doesn’t change, we wouldn’t put you in there if we didn’t believe in you, and we’re going to continue to help him.”
- If Seattle gets an expansion team, Gary Payton II wants to be a part of it. His father Gary Payton, of course, was a longtime star with the SuperSonics. He said, perhaps jokingly, that he’d request a trade from the Warriors to play there. “Respectfully. I love it here so much. But if we do (have a Seattle team) when I’m still here, I definitely want to go back and play there,” he told Nick Friedell of The Athletic. In any case, he’d like to see the NBA have a team in the city. “It was like a dream come true all over again,” he said of a potential franchise in Seattle. “To be able to see them, to be able to go there and we have an opportunity to sit down and watch a game. Hopefully, they can do it here in a few years so I can possibly go back and put on a Seattle SuperSonics jersey. But other than that, it’s for the basketball culture. Even if I do play for them or not, it will be good for the city of Seattle and good for the NBA.”
- Kristaps Porzingis and Seth Curry have been upgraded to questionable for the Warriors‘ game on Saturday in Oklahoma City, ESPN’s Anthony Slater tweets. Porzingis, battling an illness, has only played once for Golden State since being acquired at the trade deadline. Curry has been out since Dec. 4 due to a sciatic nerve-related injury
GP2 should not worry he probably be available in an expansion draft if Seattle get a team.
Literally no NBA team has offered GP2 a deal since Portland. GSW was his only offer every year. He isn’t really an NBA level talent. Nepo hire. Only Kerr thinks he’s a late/close guy and they always lose when he gets serious minutes.
GP2 played well most of the year. He is not a nepo hire.
Davey’s pathological hatred of Kerr is amazing. It is Steph Curry who wanted the Warriors to sign GPII.
Nepo baby is a stupid thing to say. GP has no sway with the Warriors. That just an idiot talking there.
Other teams were interested at the min he just choose GSW since he is happy here, and no offers were better. Plenty of teams would take him as a bench depth piece on a min deal.

So now Seth Curry has a knee injury too in addition to a sciatica nerve issue?
These guys sure get banged up more as they get older…
Sorry Dana, I couldn’t help but jump all over a possible error in your reporting. Us warriors fans are pretty sharp lol
Feel free to delete this comment after you fix the wording above. Love everything you do, Dana. You sure put in a lot of time here and keep us informed every day. I greatly appreciate it !!
Seth better retire after this year. He can thank his brother for being carried most of the season.
Seth has a higher career 3pt fg % than Steph does.
Tf is you talking about “carried”?
That man has been fighting for his career ever since he left college.
Seth played 1 game all season on most teams he would have been released. Especially a team with as many injuries as the warriors have this year.
I think he would have been, but I get the impression the team has thought the whole time that he was close to returning. They have really needed a 3pt sniper all season with how bad Buddy was.
Also its one of those things where teams do right by players to send a message to other players and agents. You have to remember that Seth had other min offers, and sacrificed some of the value of his deal waiting to sign until into the season to give the team the flexibility it needed. When a guy does that for you its a bad look to send him packing without a major season ending injury no matter whos brother they are.
its amazing how bad Buddy is now. He can’t even crack the hawks team. Surprise the hawks don’t release him. I see a huge amount of open roster spots next year for the warriors.
“Career”
How about last year?
Not sure why they keep calling it a ‘mystery illness’?
POTS is not an illness. It is caused by something else.
I understand. It also isn’t going away.
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
The prognosis for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is generally positive, with over 50% of patients—especially those with post-viral onset or younger patients—experiencing significant improvement or recovery within 2 to 5 years. While many manage symptoms through lifestyle changes and medication, some may experience chronic, long-term symptoms.
Maybe the mystery illness is what caused the POTS.
So then he’s also had that mystery illness since 2024 when he was given the POTS diagnosis?
It really is foot herpes like I was saying before when I was trolling.
It is caused by a lot of different things, foot herpes, covid, concussion…
Crazy how you can bump your head and it changes your whole life badly.
After watching the bodycam footage of Brooks’ arrest, it was total nonsense. Should have never been arrested. Blew a zero. The power trip is unreal
How much alcohol to you usually put in a joint?
Dip em in Cognac
If this is the case, brooks will have good lawyers and it’ll get tossed.
He was released without charges. It’s been tossed
Wow Hoopsrumors. Deleting comments about the articles you post. If you don’t want people to comment on Brooks’ DUI, why even write it in the article?
Be civil ….. you can still be critical
Request a trade? He’s not even signed long term.
Seattle has no players to trade, GP2 is so dumb IRL lol
Everyone who keeps talking about GSW’s “downfall” is so wrong its hilarious. Just stamp “IDKB” on your foreheads already…lmao
In 2 years when the starters are Joker-Giannis-Murphy III-Moody-Steph what are the critics going to pivot to next?
Guys I’m starting to think our boy Davey is putting on the master class of all master classes on trolling. The amount of drugs it would take to actually believe this is insane but… for engagement and reactions he is unmatched.
I think the reality is much sadder than that unfortunately
Magic Johnson played more frequently with AIDS than Porzingis does with whatever he has.
Technically Magic has never had AIDS. He has HIV, but it has never progressed to full blown AIDS.
Full blown… thats the worst kind.
I like Maluach a lot. And was kind of upset he wasn’t getting mins. I see him like Mutombo. Defense first. He is more athletic imo. I hope they do him right. Suns are doing better than most thought they would. Good to see him playing.
Kings’ Maxime Raynaud Continues to Put Together Solid Rookie Year …..

Wagoneers get informed …….
You know JK, Raynaud, and a pick would have been enough for Murphy. At least Vassel
For the poster who thinks he can come here. And school someone on the draft ….

‘Big mistake’’ to Do you know how drafting works? Do you know how drafting works in the 2nd round in particular? What are you talking about? For somebody who claims they know NBA basketball you should now better than ‘they passed on X what a mistake’. A 22 y.o. rather unremarkable player who went in the 2nd round. Yeah, sure, what a ‘mistake’.
Yeah bro A Big Mistake. Warriors should hire me.
School is out 🤫🤫🤐
Trey Murphy is not moving the needle.
Better fo team than JK or KP. 25 yr who fits system. What nobody gets. Is Klay was a big part of this. And hasn’t been replaced. They miss a consistent ball handler. Curry can’t give you that now. And thats not Jimmys strenght.
This team currently is good. Murphy is also very good and a system fit.
And a future. I like Melton. Podz is playing better. They miss their two stars lol.
Melton is overrated Al, he can score a bit, but he’s not a main piece. 10th or 1th man type.
Podz can only play his natural game if Steph isn’t there. If Steph is there, Podz becomes useless. They should move Podz to off-ball and Steph to on-ball PG
Wonder what pick in the lotto the Warriors will get in each of the next 5 years?
The league will tell them they’ve had their run. No high pics coming for the Warriors.
