Referee hilariously pretends to forget Dillion Brooks’ name after latest ejection
NY Post
Rockets antagonist Dillon Brooks found himself being tossed from Sunday’s game against the Suns at the Footprint Center in Phoenix after he got into an exchange with Kevin Durant.
Durant got fouled while he started to attempt to drive to the basket with 4:48 left in the second quarter, but things got chippier after Brooks tied up Durant after the whistle and the Suns star had to push Brooks off of him.
The two had to be separated and then Brooks found himself giving Nick Richards a bit of a shove before walking away. Brooks appeared to say something to one of the referees.
As coaches raced over to try and quell the situation, Brooks eventually got rung up for a technical foul and was tossed from the game.
Brooks had to be held back after referee Justin Van Duyne issued the tech.
To add to the already odd situation, moments later, referee Bill Kennedy had a bit of fun when he announced fouls to the crowd.
