Phoenix Suns Guard Dillon Brooks Suffers Broken Hand in Victory Over Magic

Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks fractured his left hand during Saturday's double-overtime win against Orlando and will miss extended time. The injury adds to the Suns' growing list of sidelined players, including All-Star Devin Booker who's out with a hip strain.

Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks sustained a fractured left hand during Saturday’s home matchup against the Orlando Magic and faces an extended absence from the court, according to ESPN reports.

The injury occurred early in the contest, forcing Brooks to exit the game with 4:46 left in the opening quarter. Despite his departure, the Suns managed to secure a thrilling 113-110 victory in double overtime. Brooks had been absent from Thursday’s loss in San Antonio due to a one-game suspension.

During his brief time on the court against Orlando, the 30-year-old guard contributed five points and grabbed three rebounds across seven minutes of play.

This season has marked a career year for Brooks in his debut campaign with Phoenix. Through 49 games as a starter, he’s posted career-high averages of 21.2 points per game, along with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals while logging 31.1 minutes nightly. His rebounding numbers match his previous best from his time with the Houston Rockets last season.

The Suns face additional injury concerns beyond Brooks’ setback. Prior to Saturday’s game, the organization revealed that All-Star guard Devin Booker would be sidelined for a minimum of one week with a right hip strain suffered during Thursday’s contest against San Antonio.

Medical staff will reassess Booker’s condition after the one-week period to determine his recovery progress, though no specific return date has been established.

Saturday marked Booker’s ninth absence in the team’s last 12 contests. The five-time All-Star previously missed seven consecutive games due to a sprained right ankle.

The team also provided an update on recently signed guard Haywood Highsmith, who will undergo re-evaluation in 2-3 weeks for a right knee issue.
