Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to police reports.

The arrest occurred around 2:00 a.m. on Friday, shortly after the Suns' Thursday night home game against the Chicago Bulls, which Phoenix lost. Brooks was reportedly released approximately 80 minutes after being taken into custody.

According to reports, the Canadian forward was described as "respectful and cooperative" during the arrest process. Brooks is currently sidelined from the Suns' lineup due to a fractured left hand injury.

The Phoenix Suns organization released a brief statement acknowledging the situation, saying they "are aware of the situation and gathering more information." The team has not provided additional details about any potential disciplinary actions or how the arrest might affect Brooks' status with the organization.

Brooks joined the Phoenix Suns this season and has been dealing with the hand injury that has kept him out of recent games. The DUI arrest adds another complication to what has already been a challenging period for the forward.
