Dillon Brooks News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Won't play Thursday Brooks (oblique) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup against the 76ers.

Impact Brooks doesn't have a timetable for his return, so his absence from Friday's matchup is not surprising. Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are all candidates to see extended minutes in Brooks' absence. Brooks' next chance to play will come against the Pistons on Jan. 1.

Without return timetable Rockets coach Ime Udoka said Wednesday that Brooks (oblique) remains without a timetable for his return, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Brooks has already been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Suns due to an oblique strain. However, it is unclear when the 27-year-old forward can return to action. Tari Eason (leg), Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are all candidates to see extended minutes in Brooks' absence.

Won't play Wednesday Brooks (oblique) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Impact Brooks suffered the oblique strain during Tuesday's win over Indiana and will miss the second night of a back-to-back set. His timetable remains to be determined, but his next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the 76ers. With Brooks out and Tari Eason (leg) questionable, Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Jeff Green are candidates for increased roles Wednesday.

Impact This is a tough blow for Houston, and it leaves Brooks' status for Wednesday's game against the Suns in jeopardy. If Brooks is forced to miss time, the Rockets do have some quality depth in Tari Eason and Amen Thompson that they could turn to.

Scores 18, gets ejected Brooks contributed 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 35 minutes before getting ejected from Sunday's 128-119 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Brooks was having a strong performance before getting ejected in the fourth quarter, and if the Rockets wanted to have any shot at pulling out a comeback win, the loss of Brooks was the nail in the coffin due to his defensive ability. Brooks is having a strong year for fantasy purposes, however, and he is making things happen on both ends of the courts while posting career-best numbers in the efficiency department.

Goes for 26 points in win Brooks produced 26 points (10-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 40 minutes during Friday's 103-96 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact The Rockets came from behind and overcame a slow start to get past the Grizzlies, and Brooks iced the game with a three-pointer late in the fourth quarter when Memphis was attempting a comeback. Brooks has enjoyed a solid start to life in Houston, and while his scoring figures are a bit down compared to the previous season, he's showing a clear improvement in the efficiency department. He's shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 38.8 percent from deep, and both are career-best figures for him.

Available for Monday Brooks (illness) is available for Monday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Brooks was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, but he made it through the morning shootaround and is feeling well enough to give it a go. In three December games, Brooks is averaging 16.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.7 three-pointers.

Dealing with illness Brooks is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs due to an illness.

Impact Brooks was added to the injury report with a questionable designation due to an illness. This could be Brooks' first missed game of the season, which would see Amen Thompson, Jae'Sean Tate and Aaron Holiday step into bigger roles.

Keeps head down in loss Brooks produced 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Saturday's 107-97 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Brooks' beef with LeBron James is well-documented, but a brutal stare-down from James after a made bucket was the only evidence of the conflict during Saturday's game. Brooks continues to deal with nagging injuries, and although he's put up a few good totals, he's far from consistent. His 13.2 points per game is on pace to be his second-worst career point total despite converting a career-best 47.9 percent of his shots.

Cleared Tuesday Brooks (groin/hip) will play Tuesday against Dallas.

Impact Brooks is battling left adductor tendinopathy, but he will continue his perfect attendance this season. The 27-year-old will enter his 15th start of the season averaging 13.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals with a 47.1/46.4/85.7 percent shooting slash.

Dealing with adductor injury Brooks is probable for Tuesday's matchup versus Dallas due to left adductor tendinopathy.

Impact Brooks has yet to miss a game this season, and that likely won't change Tuesday. However, Tuesday's contest is the front half of a back-to-back set, so it's possible Brooks will play versus Dallas before taking a seat for Wednesday's matchup versus Denver. Brooks is one of four players listed as probable on Houston's initial injury report.

Struggles in victory Friday Brooks chipped in eight points (2-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 105-86 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Brooks shot under 30 percent from the floor for the second straight game, continuing his recent offensive struggles. Outside of two games during which he scored a total of 40 points, he has not been able to get anything going in the scoring column. He is barely inside the top 150 this season and at this point, can probably be dropped to open up a streaming spot.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles from deep Brooks contributed 13 points (4-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 111-91 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Brooks struggled from the field, especially from deep, but scored in double figures for the fifth time over his past six games. During that stretch, he's averaged 12.8 points on 40.3 percent shooting from the field. On the season, Brooks is still shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 45.3 percent from deep, which would both be career-high marks, but his shooting splits have started to regress back to the mean in recent games.
