SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — A Phoenix Suns star was taken to jail after being arrested in Scottsdale early Friday morning.
Dillon Brooks was arrested after a traffic stop around 1:30 a.m. near Thunderbird and Scottsdale roads for allegedly driving under the influence, police confirmed.
Scottsdale officers took the 30-year-old to jail, where he was booked and later released. Possible charges will be determined by prosecutors.

The forward has been out of the Suns’ lineup since he fractured his hand in a Feb. 21 game against the Orlando Magic. Reports indicated that the team expected him to return in four to six weeks.
The Suns organization gave Arizona’s Family the following statement about Brooks:
“We are aware of the situation involving Dillon Brooks and are gathering more information. We have no further comment at this time.”
Phoenix was one of the NBA’s early-season surprise teams, but injuries have started to pile up since the All-Star break. Without Brooks and big man Mark Williams, the Suns struggled to gather any momentum in a 105-103 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
