Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks has been suspended one game without pay by the NBA for his flagrant foul on Gary Payton II in Memphis‘ playoff series against the Warriors. Brooks, who was ejected Tuesday for a flagrant 2 foul that fractured Payton’s left elbow, will serve the suspension Saturday for Game 3. The NBA announced Thursday that Brooks made „unnecessary and excessive contact“ on Payton. Brooks was chasing down Payton from behind on a transition layup in Game 2 on Tuesday when he hit Payton in the head while in the air with 9:08 left in the first quarter.
