After reviewing Dillon Brooks’s flagrant 2 foul from Game 3 of the Grizzlies-Lakers series, the Memphis forward will not be suspended for Game 4 of the first-round playoff series, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Brooks was ejected Saturday night for hitting LeBron James in the groin during his team’s 111–101 loss.
During the third quarter of the game, Brooks was defending James as he tried to dribble past midcourt and hit the Los Angeles star down low. Brooks was ejected and refused to speak to reporters after the loss. The incident comes days after he called James “old” and took several shots at him after Memphis’s Game 2 win.
