Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks received his 16th technical foul of the season on Wednesday, which will lead to an automatic one-game suspension.
In the first quarter of the Rockets’ 143-105 win over the Utah Jazz, Brooks was backing down Collin Sexton in the post. Sexton stripped the ball out of Brooks’ hands, then the Rockets forward leaped and kicked Sexton in the groin.
Brooks’ automatic suspension should sideline him for Friday’s matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After reaching the single-season threshold of 16 technical fouls, a player’s future suspensions will increase by one game for every two additional technical fouls.
Brooks is second in the NBA in technical fouls this season, behind only Anthony Edwards (17).
This season, Brooks is averaging 13.9 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 39.5 percent from deep.
