Dillon Brooks’ Season Performance
This season has been significant for Brooks, who has been sidelined since February 21 due to a broken hand.

Impact on the Team
Brooks is known for his tenacity on the court. While he has traditionally excelled defensively, his enhanced offensive skills have proved beneficial for the Suns. As a team, the Suns currently hold a record of 35 wins and 27 losses, placing them seventh in the Western Conference. This improvement has been notable, especially given the off-season changes that left only Devin Booker from their prior star lineup, which included Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
