Dillon Brooks was ejected late in the Phoenix Suns’ 116-114 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. Brooks hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 12.2 seconds left over LeBron James and then picked up his second technical after exchanging words with James, a continuation of the pair jawing at one another throughout the entirety of Sunday’s game.

"He wants these moments. He wants these environments. We've been seeing it all season from him," Booker said. "People always say everything's too friendly in the NBA, and then Dillon comes around and now it's too much… I'd rather it be the other way. I'd rather it be too much."

Phoenix star guard Devin Booker returns from a groin injury suffered in the first quarter of a Dec. 1 road victory against the Lakers. Booker had missed Phoenix's past three games. Dillon Brooks (left Achilles soreness) is also back, while Jalen Green (right hamstring strain) and Isaiah Livers (right hip strain) remain out.
