Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks is out for Monday’s matchup with the Utah Jazz due to right groin soreness. Brooks was initially listed as questionable on the injury report.
Brooks has had groin injuries twice earlier in his career, once in 2023 and once in 2020.
He is second on the team, averaging 19.3 points through three games and is averaging 2.7 steals per game as one of the team’s key defensive stoppers.
In two seasons with Houston, Brooks missed 17 total games in the regular season and averaged more than 30 minutes per game in each of the last three seasons.
The Phoenix Suns debut for Jalen Green will be delayed again, as he will miss his fourth straight game to start the season with a right hamstring strain.
His next chance to take the floor for the Suns will be on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
For the Jazz, Isaiah Collier (right hamstring strain) and Georges Niang (left foot stress reaction) were listed as out.
Tip off for Suns-Jazz is set for 6 p.m. and can be heard on 98.7 and the Arizona Sports app.
