The league announced on Thursday that they have rescinded the technical foul assessed to the Phoenix Suns forward during the third quarter of last night's game against the Miami Heat. The call originally came after a heated sequence where Brooks appeared to shove Heat guard Norman Powell, leading to a scuffle that saw Powell held back by teammate Bam Adebayo.
While the “Villain” caught a break with the league office, the Suns couldn't catch one on the scoreboard, falling to Miami 127-121.

Despite the loss, Brooks was the engine for Phoenix's offense, dropping a team-high 25 points on 11-of-24 shooting to go with four rebounds and two steals.
However, his touch deserted him from deep, as he shot a dismal 1-for-10 from three-point range. On the other side, Powell had the last laugh in the personal duel, pouring in 27 points along with five rebounds to help Miami secure the win. Adebayo led all scorers with 29 points and nine boards.
