Dillon Brooks pleads guilty to exceeding speed limit, issued fine

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks was ordered to pay $500 in fines after his guilty plea on Nov. 9 for exceeding speed in a 45-mile zone on Jan. 12, according to Scottsdale court records. It was a Class 3 misdemeanor. Brooks was pulled over following Phoenix’s 112-93 home win Jan. 11 over the Washington Wizards . Brooks was also cited for reckless driving that night hours after the game. That Class 2 misdemeanor charge was dismissed at the request of the city attorney on Nov. 9, according to court records. Brooks has a pretrial conference set for Dec. 1 for his DUI charge from his March arrest. The Class 1 misdemeanor charge lists liquor, drugs and vapors in the court records. Brooks is in his second season with the Suns (3-6). He signed a three-year, $73-million extension this past summer that runs through the 2029-30 season. The 6-foot-7 forward is averaging 15.7 points this season after having a career year last season in which he averaged 20.2 points. The Suns acquired him from the Houston Rockets in the Kevin Durant trade before the 2025 NBA Draft. Have opinions about the current state of the Suns?
