According to sources, the Memphis Grizzlies have made the decision not to re-sign pending unrestricted free agent Dillon Brooks for the coming season. Brooks was advised by the team this week during an exit meeting that he would never be invited back. According to Sham Charania of The Athletic, the choice was made following Brooks’ first-round series defeat by the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Mississauga, Ontario, native insulted the Lakers’ star LeBron James throughout the series by calling him “old” and “tired.” For striking James in the groin area during Game 3 of the series, Brooks was also dismissed from the game. Additionally, Brooks was fined $25,000 by the league for refusing to speak to the media after three of the Grizzlies’ losses in the series.
Charania also revealed that the Grizzlies made several contract extension offers to Brooks during the season, but the offers were rejected, leading to the end of talks. The Canadian has spent his entire six-year career with the Grizzlies after he was drafted by the team in the second round (45th overall) of the 2017 NBA Draft.
Brooks averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 73 games with the Grizzlies in the 2022-23 season. For his career, the Oregon product has averaged 14.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.
