Dillon Brooks talked for the first time since he injured Gary Payton II on a play that sparked a debate about the NBA’s unspoken code.
SAN FRANCISCO — Dillon Brooks would like to put the play that injured Gary Payton II behind him.It’s unlikely, however, the Warriors and their fans will let Brooks forget the egregious foul he committed against Payton in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals that possibly ended the Warriors guard’s season.
Brooks was ejected after he wound up and hit Payton in the head as the guard soared through the air early in the first quarter Tuesday night. The contact caused Payton to crash onto his left arm. After shootaround Monday, Brooks defended his actions saying he was “just trying to make a play on the ball.” He said he “was running full speed and I jumped and he adjusted.”
