LOS ANGELES (AP)—Phoenix Suns guard Aaron Brooks(notes) has been suspended for
one game for throwing a ball at an official.
The NBA announced Brooks’ suspension Sunday about an hour before Phoenix’s
road game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Brooks struck an official in the leg with the ball midway through the fourth
quarter of the Suns’ 108-97 victory over Golden State on Friday night.
Brooks is averaging 8.3 points and 4.1 assists in his last 10 games with the
Suns, who acquired him at the trade deadline from Houston in a deal for Goran
Dragic(notes) and a protected first-round draft pick.
Brooks was voted the NBA’s most improved player last season.
