Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks is suspended for Game 3 against the Warriors following his flagrant-2 foul against Gary Payton II, the NBA announced on Thursday.
In Game 2 versus the Warriors, Brooks was ejected due to a flagrant-2 foul issued after he hit Payton in the head, causing him to land hard on his left elbow. This resulted in a fractured elbow for Payton, and he is expected to miss three weeks.
Now, the forward will sit out on Saturday due to the decision made by President of League Operations Byron Spruell.
