Suns injury update: Dillon Brooks out with left hand fracture

February 23, 2026 - 00:51

The Phoenix Suns' depth will be tested again as they prepare to host the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night. The team confirms that forward Dillon Brooks will be unavailable due to a fracture in his left hand, adding another key name to their injury report.

This setback compounds an already challenging situation for Phoenix, as they will also be without their two leading scorers for this matchup. The absence of such critical offensive firepower places a significant burden on the remaining rotation players to step up and fill the void.

Brooks, known for his tenacious defense and scoring ability, leaves a gap on both ends of the floor. His injury timeline for recovery and return has not yet been specified, leaving his status uncertain for upcoming games.

Facing the second night of a back-to-back, the Suns must now rely on heightened contributions from their role players and bench unit to maintain competitiveness. The game against the Trail Blazers at the Mortgage Matchup Center has quickly transformed into a test of resilience and adaptability for a Suns squad navigating a difficult stretch of personnel losses.
