Dillon Brooks will not play Wednesday night's game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.

The NBA suspended the Grizzlies forward for one game after he picked up his league-leading 18th technical foul of the season.

Referees called a technical on Brooks after he taunted the Dallas Mavericks' bench during a 112-108 win Monday night.

Brooks mimicked someone waving pom-poms, suggesting Mavs forward Theo Pinson was paid to be a cheerleader, not a basketball player.

"The dude was standing up on the bench. He should be sitting down," Brooks said, referencing the league's bench decorum rules. "We should be putting that on notice, but I just wanna let him know he's a cheerleader."
