NBA star Dillion Brooks has escaped further punishment for hitting LeBron James in the groin.
The Memphis Grizzlies star has attempted to antagonise the basketball icon throughout his team’s first round playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers. Brooks was on the winning side in game two as he doggedly defended James and didn’t waste an opportunity to goad him during the game. The tables turned in game three as James led the Lakers to an important win and was struck by Brooks in the nether regions for his troubles.
As the second half began, with the Grizzlies trailing by 16 points, James dribbled the ball behind his back in the half court. James then dropped to the floor clutching his groin after Brooks struck him, and was ejected as a result. But now it has been confirmed that the controversial small forward will not be suspended or suffer any other further punishment for his actions.
