PHOENIX (AP) --- Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks was ejected Friday night in
a 127-120 loss to the Denver Nuggets for kicking Jamal Murray in the groin.
Brooks attempted a turnaround jumper in the third quarter with Murray guarding,
and when Brooks fell backward he kicked his right leg forward, making contact
with Murray.
Brooks was called for an offensive foul and Murray was writhing in pain on the
court for a few moments before eventually getting up and staying in the game.
The officials reviewed the play and upgraded the foul to a Flagrant 2, which is
an automatic ejection.
Brooks was leading the Suns with 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting at the time of
his ejection.
