Dillion Brooks, a man not normally short of words, had little to say following game three of the NBA Playoffs first round.
After his Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Los Angeles Lakers without Ja Morant in game two to square the series 1-1, Brooks proceeded to call LeBron James “old”. But his fortunes changed drastically in game three, as he was ejected for hitting the 19-time All-Star in the groin. To exacerbate matters, the second seeded team lost the game 111-101 and trail the Lakers 2-1 in the series.
After the game, Tim McMahon at ESPN tweeted that Brooks declined interviews and told the reporter: “I ain’t talking.” The 27-year-old left the game with just seven points to his name on 3-for-13 shooting in just 19 minutes of action. The Grizzlies managed just nine points throughout the entire first quarter as they struggled to find rhythm offensively against a rampaging Lakers team.
