Entering Sunday’s game, an old battle between Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant was ready. However, after only 11 minutes, Brooks was assessed two technical fouls and immediately ejected.

The skirmish came after Brooks fouled Durant going to the basket. They were tied up, and the Rockets forward didn’t let go. Durant tried to get off, which resulted in Suns center Nick Richards stepping in.

Following that, Brooks showed Richards, which earned him another technical foul. After that, he was immediately ejected before giving the officiating crew an earful.

Funny enough, Brooks isn’t a stranger to fines or ejections. Against the Boston Celtics, he was slapped with a $25,000 fine after saying dropping an F-bomb. Whether or not this ends in a fine remains to be seen.

Regardless, he finished with eight points, one rebound, and an assist in 11 minutes of play. The Rockets currently lead 79-49 at the end of the first half.

We will update this story with more details.
