It took Dillon Brooks less than five minutes to earn his first ejection as a member of the Rockets, and the regular season hasn’t even started yet.
During the first quarter of Tuesday night’s preseason clash against the Pacers, Brooks was issued a flagrant two foul and was subsequently ejected after appearing to hit Daniel Theis in the midsection while fighting through a screen.
Theis fell to the floor after Brooks’s swipe. When he got up, he was heated and could be seen shouting at Houston’s forward. The game’s commentators were absolutely giddy to see Brooks playing some physical defense.
