Suns' Dillon Brooks says Pistons' John Collins tried to choke him
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks recounts his skirmish with Detroit Pistons forward John Collins during Oct. 5's preseason game.
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has questioned the severity of the technical foul he received for his altercation with Detroit Pistons big John Collins during a preseason game on October 5th. The two players engaged in physical contact in the first quarter, leading to Brooks being separated from Collins. Brooks claimed that Collins felt embarrassed and attempted to hit him, which prompted Brooks to continue the physical interaction when Collins tried to turn away.
Collins was given a flagrant one foul for the incident. Brooks, who led the NBA in technical fouls last season with 17, said he was playing within the game and did not start the altercation. The Suns and Pistons are scheduled to face off twice during the regular season – on December 16th in Detroit and February 10th in Phoenix.
