Dillon Brooks’ Rockets debut was short-lived on Tuesday night, as he was ejected just five minutes into the game for a flagrant foul penalty two.
The incident occurred when Brooks was navigating a screen from Pacers big man Daniel Theis. Brooks’ hand appeared to hit Theis in the groin area, and Theis immediately went down in pain.
The officials reviewed the play and upgraded Brooks’ foul to a flagrant two, resulting in an automatic ejection.
Brooks is known for his physical style of play, and he has been ejected from games on several occasions in the past. This is also why NBA Twitter showed no mercy while ripping the Canadian.
