Suns fans showed their appreciation with a standing ovation towards Dillon Brooks after he was ejected from Sunday's game.

Dillon Brooks was ejected against the Los Angeles Lakers as it was ruled he made unsportsmanlike contact with LeBron James in celebration.

Brooks was active in the previous game against the OKC Thunder when the Suns suffered a humiliating 138-89 loss in the NBA Cup quarterfinal clash. The former Memphis Grizzlies forward endured a horrible shooting night, going 4 of 16 from the floor for 16 points.

Two teams that had hoped to be basking in the bright lights of Las Vegas this weekend will have to settle for a different Southwestern site when the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns duel outside the spotlight of the NBA Cup on Sunday night in Arizona.
