Suns forward Dillon Brooks was arrested for DUI on Friday morning in Scottsdale.
According to TMZ, the Canadian forward was “respectful and cooperative” after being picked up around 2 a.m. until he was released around 80 minutes later.
Brooks, 30, fractured his hand in a win over the Magic on Feb. 21, an injury that’s expected to keep him sidelined 4-6 weeks.
