NBA star Dillon Brooks was pulled over and arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Arizona, early Friday morning. Bodycam footage shows officers noting a strong marijuana smell in his car, though a breathalyzer test registered 0.0 for alcohol. Hours later, Brooks shared workout videos on social media without addressing the incident.
Oh, the drama never sleeps in the NBA! According to bodycam footage obtained by TMZ Sports, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks found himself in hot water around 1 AM on Friday in Scottsdale, Arizona. Cops pulled him over for swerving in and out of his lane in his Rolls Royce, but things got sniffy quick—one officer straight-up told him, "Smells like a dispensary in your car." Brooks clapped back, pointing out the patrol car was swerving too. Despite denying alcohol use for six months and blowing a clean 0.0 on the breathalyzer, he was arrested on suspicion of DUI and booked into Scottsdale City Jail, only to be released by 3:30 AM.
The 28-year-old, who's been averaging a solid 20.9 points per game this season, mentioned his ongoing recovery from a left-hand fracture suffered in the Suns' February 21 game against the Magic—he's due for re-evaluation by late March or early April. Earlier that night, Brooks had been with the team for their home loss to the Chicago Bulls. Law enforcement sources confirm no alcohol impairment, leaving the weed scent as the big question mark. The Suns issued a statement saying they're investigating and have no further comment right now.
But wait, there's more tea: Just hours after his release, Brooks hit Instagram with workout clips from the Suns' practice facility, sinking shots with trainers despite the hand wrap. Zero mention of the arrest—talk about staying focused! Is this just a bump in the road, or will it sideline the sharpshooter for good?
