"We are aware of the situation involving Dillon Brooks and are gathering more information.  We have no further comment at this time," the Suns said in a statement.

TMZ Sports was the first to report Brooks' arrest.

Typically, a defensive stalwart, Brooks was having perhaps the best season of his career until he suffered a broken left hand last month.

He is averaging a career-best 20.9 points per game — his 44.0 field goal percentage is also the highest mark of his career. His 3.7 rebounds per contest are a tick lower than his high mark last year.

Brooks was the 45th overall pick by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2017 out of Oregon and spent six seasons there. He then went to the Houston Rockets as part of a sign-and-trade but was traded to the Phoenix Suns in the blockbuster Kevin Durant trade over the offseason.
