After picking up his 18th technical foul of the season, Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks has been suspended for Wednesday's game vs. the Houston Rockets. The NBA released this statement announcing the suspension:

Memphis Grizzlies guard-forward Dillon Brooks has been suspended one game without pay for receiving his 18th technical foul of the 2022-23 season, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations. Under NBA rules, a player or coach is automatically suspended without pay for one game once he receives his 16th technical foul during a regular season. For every two additional technical fouls received during that regular season, the player or coach will be automatically suspended without pay for an additional game. Brooks received his most recent technical foul with 7:26 remaining in the third quarter of the Grizzlies' 112-108 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on March 20 at FedExForum. Brooks will serve his suspension March 22 when the Grizzlies play host to the Houston Rockets at FedExForum.

Having already served one suspension due to his 16th technical foul, this will be the second time Brooks has missed a game due to the NBA's technical foul limit. Every two technical fouls after a player's 16th is an additional suspension. Brooks has now reached that threshold, and will be forced to miss what is expected to be Ja Morant's return game.
