Finishes career year on high note
Brooks registered 23 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
In his first season with Phoenix following an offseason trade from Houston, Brooks put together perhaps his finest NBA campaign. Over 56 regular-season outings, the veteran forward averaged a career-high 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.4 minutes per game. Brooks will be in the final year of his four-year contract during 2026-27.

Nets team-high 33 points in loss
Brooks ended Saturday's 121-109 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 33 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes.
Analysis
Brooks has now dropped 30-plus points in back-to-back games, but the Suns still haven't been able to earn a victory in this first-round series against the defending champs. Collin Gillespie pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds to go with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes in the loss.

Pours in team-high 30 in Game 2
Brooks contributed 30 points (12-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 120-107 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
The 30 points led the Suns on the night, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the defending champs. It was the first time Brooks had scored 30 or more points since returning from a hand injury at the end of March, and his best scoring effort since Jan. 29, when he erupted for 40 points against the Pistons. Over nine games in April, Brooks is averaging 17.7 points, 4.0 boards, 2.4 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals.
