[Saba Sports News] In a characteristic move, Dillon Brooks was ejected during the Houston Rockets’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, ending 128-119. The incident occurred in the game’s final moments, with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Brooks exaggerated contact from Khris Middleton of the Bucks while pursuing a loose ball, leading to a flopping violation call by official Suyash Mehta, resulting in a one-shot technical foul.
Brooks, known as Dillon The Villain, reacted heatedly to the call, arguing with Mehta. This led to Mehta issuing a second technical foul to Brooks, resulting in his disqualification from the game, though only 38.9 seconds were left.
While Brooks might argue a legitimate foul, his reaction appeared exaggerated. Given his reputation for flopping, which dates back to his college days, Brooks’ credibility in such situations is questionable. Notably, this ejection was more significant than a previous one in a preseason game.
