Brooks suffered the injury in Saturday's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers and did not return to the matchup. A myriad of issues including hand, hamstring, and knee injuries along with COVID protocols have kept the fifth-year player out of 20 total games this season. It's unknown how long this injury could keep him out of the lineup. In his absence, expect De'Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson to be looked upon to make up the production in Brooks's absence.
Brooks has averaged 18.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game in 21 games this season.
