No Dillon Brooks for sure hurts Memphis’ depth if guards get in foul trouble but he hasn’t played great for them and they clearly didn’t need him to win in Game 2.
GPII is a much bigger loss for GSW. – 3:01 PM

Brian Geltzeiler @BGeltzNBA
If the #NBA truly wants to eliminate these dirty fouls on airborne players, one game suspensions are not exactly the best deterrent. Grayson Allen should have gotten more earlier in the season and Dillon Brooks deserves more than the one game he just got – 2:55 PM

NBA announces that Dillon Brooks will serve a one-game suspension in Game 3 of Grizzlies-Warriors on Saturday without pay for “unnecessary and excessive contact” on Warriors guard Gary Payton II. The NBA also noted that play resulted in Payton “having a substantial injury.” – 2:52 PM

NBA suspends Dillon Brooks for Game 3. A one-game suspension always seemed liked the expected ruling. That’s what the league gave Grayson Allen for a similar foul that injured Alex Caruso during regular season. – 2:48 PM

More on this storyline

Anthony Slater: Warriors announce that Andre Iguodala will be re-evaluated again in another week. So that rules him out of Games 3, 4 and 5 of this Memphis series. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / May 5, 2022

Former Orlando and Charlotte head coach Steve Clifford has interviewed and so has former Golden State coach and ESPN analyst Mark Jackson. Sources say, Mike Brown, the Golden State associate head coach whose team is tied, 1-1, in its West semifinal series with Memphis, spent informal time with Kings officials on Wednesday and has his formal interview on Thursday. As Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer noted on Tuesday, there is indeed a strong sense from sources close to the situation that Jackson is the preferred candidate of Kings owner Vivek Ranadive. But the Kings insist there’s a level playing field, and that second-year general manager Monte McNair will be given the leeway to make the final decision. -via The Athletic / May 5, 2022

Meanwhile, in Sacramento, Los Angeles and Charlotte, the search for a coach of his caliber continues. The Kings, who briefly considered Williams as an option in the 2019 offseason before then-general manager Vlade Divac moved quickly to hire Luke Walton, appear likely to fill their vacancy sooner than the Lakers or Hornets. A decision between the three finalists, sources say, is expected by the week’s end.
