What is the ongoing beef between Dillon Brooks and Theo Pinson all about? Learn all there is to know about the beef.
Dillon Brooks is quickly forming a reputation for himself as one of the most controversial players in the league. The Memphis Grizzlies guard-forward barely gets through a game these days without getting involved in a verbal altercation or two, and his most recent altercation happened with the Dallas Mavericks’ Theo Pinson when the two teams met on Sunday night.
When Brooks was asked afterwards regarding the taunt he made at Pinson during the third quarter of the game, he said he wanted to let Pinson know he is just a cheerleader now. “I just wanted to let him know he was a cheerleader,” Brooks said. “Same class, I grew up watching him play, and he was a great player. Now he gets paid to cheerlead. I love it.”
Pinson responded to Brooks’ remarks, hilariously stating that he owns real estate in Brooks’ head. It has to be noted that there is history between the two, as Brooks and his Oregon Ducks had lost to Pinson’s Tar Heels in 2017. Pinson was a starter for North Carolina back then but is very much a bench player in the NBA now, having never started a game in his five-year career.
Brooks has recently been suspended for one game without pay for receiving his 18th technical foul of the ongoing 2022-23 season.
Brooks picked up his 18th technical foul of the season during the Grizzlies’ win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Brooks will serve his suspension for a game without pay on Wednesday, March 22 when the Grizzlies play host to the Houston Rockets at FedExForum.
As per the current NBA rules, a player or coach is automatically suspended without pay for one game once he receives his 16th technical foul during a regular season. For every two additional technical fouls received during that regular season, the player or coach will be automatically suspended without pay for an additional game.
