Phoenix Suns wing Dillon Brooks was taken into custody early Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence.
According to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic, Brooks later addressed the situation with his teammates and offered an apology for what happened.
“Just hate to see it for him, but he’s human. We’re all humans,” Collin Gillespie said. “We’re not above anybody else. We all make mistakes. He knows that. He owned it He apologized to the team, but we got his back. Human beings make mistakes, we all make mistakes. Learn from it. He’s just in the public eye more than any other regular human being. That stuff goes on every day and you just don’t hear about it from other people because it’s not ‘Dillon Brooks’ per se.”
Brooks, currently recovering from a fractured hand, attended Friday’s game but declined to speak with reporters.
“I know he feels really bad about it,” Grayson Allen said. “I’m sure whenever he feels like he needs to say something, he’ll say something, but we’re still focusing on what we can do on the court with him out. We want to get him back and hold it down in the meantime.”
