The Phoenix Suns will be without Dillon Brooks for four to six weeks as the guard recovers from surgery for a broken left hand, the team announced Tuesday.
Brooks, 30, suffered the injury during Saturday's victory against the Orlando Magic.
It comes on the heels of the Suns announcing Saturday that All-Star guard Devin Booker will miss at least one week because of a right hip strain. Guards Grayson Allen (ankle/knee) and Jordan Goodwin (calf) also missed Sunday's game vs. Portland.
"The identity doesn't change," Suns coach Jordan Ott said Sunday. "Play the same style. Our defense is going to have to be better, offense is going to have to be better. ... We're just going to have to find new ways as things continue to progress."
Brooks has played a key role for the playoff-contending Suns (33-25). He's averaging a career-high 20.9 points and 3.7 rebounds. He has increased his scoring average by 6.9 points from last season, the sixth-biggest increase among players to qualify for the scoring title in both seasons, according to ESPN Research.
Also Tuesday, the Suns said reserve guard Jordan Goodwin is out for a least one-to-two weeks with a left calf strain. Goodwin is averaging 8.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game.
