Sees 22 minutes in return
Brooks finished with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and five rebounds across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Magic.
Analysis
Playing in his first game since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, Brooks showed some obvious rust and had his minutes monitored by design. He was averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals prior to the injury, so fantasy managers will be looking for him to find his footing shortly.

Will play Tuesday
Brooks (hand) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
This will be Brooks' first appearance since Feb. 21. He missed 18 games due to a fractured left hand, and it's unclear if he will face restrictions during his return. Through 50 appearances, he's averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Expected to play Tuesday
Brooks (hand) is set to return in Tuesday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Brooks hasn't played since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, though he returned to 5-on-5 work Saturday and is trending toward returning to game action Tuesday. The 30-year-old forward's return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming. Over 50 regular-season appearances, Brooks is averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Won't go Monday
Brooks (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Brooks has not played in a game since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, but he appears to be nearing a return as he has recently been participating in 5-on-5 work. His next chance to suit up comes Tuesday against the Magic.

Participates in 5-on-5 work
Brooks (hand) participated in 5-on-5 work Saturday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Brooks is seemingly nearing a return to action after missing Phoenix's last 16 games due to a fractured left hand. The 30-year-old forward can be considered questionable for Monday's game in Memphis, and his eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming.

Won't play Saturday
Brooks (hand) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.
Analysis
Brooks hasn't played since Feb. 21, and he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff, suggesting he's still not close. Until the Suns provide an update on Brooks' rehab progress, he should be considered doubtful for future contests.
