Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving became the latest NBA stars to draw the ire of Dillon Brooks this season as the Grizzlies guard took swipes at the Mavericks star guards ahead of Saturday’s game in Memphis.
Brooks, fresh off his latest clash with Draymond Green and the Warriors, attempted to stir the pot against a different Western Conference foe after learning of Dončić and Irving’s statuses for the contest. Dallas ruled Dončić out for the contest with a left thigh strain and later listed him as day-to day, while Irving is listed as questionable due to a foot injury and undisclosed personal reasons.
After learning that Dončić would not play in the contest, Brooks seemingly took aim at the four-time All-Star. The sixth-year guard also told reporters he hopes he gets the chance to guard Dončić when the teams meet again later this season after watching him drop 32 points in a blowout Mavs win on Oct. 22. Brooks did not play in that game due to injury.
