Dillon Brooks Returns to Phoenix for 2026-27 Off a 20-Point Season
newsroom · 2 h agoDillon Brooks is back with the Suns for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 3 as a guard-forward. He is coming off a 2025-26 season in which he averaged 20.2 points across 56 games for Phoenix, and he is not on the injury report entering the year.
Who Dillon Brooks Is Now
Dillon Brooks enters the 2026-27 season with the Phoenix Suns, wearing No. 3. He's a 6-7, 225-pound guard-forward, listed at age 30 and in his ninth NBA season out of Oregon. Last season, in 2025-26, he played for Phoenix and appeared in 56 games, averaging 30.4 minutes a night — a full rotation workload. That kind of minutes total signals he was an everyday piece of the Suns' plan last year, not a bench specialist. Nothing in the current report points to any change in his standing with the team heading into camp; he's still wearing the same number, playing the same combo guard-forward role, and carrying the same veteran experience into a new season in Phoenix.
The 2025-26 Numbers
Brooks averaged 20.2 points per game last season, the headline number from his 2025-26 season with Phoenix. He also put up 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.2 blocks, with 1.8 turnovers a night. His shooting line was 43.5 percent from the field, 34.4 percent from three, and 84.2 percent at the free-throw line. Across 56 games and 30.4 minutes a night, that scoring average came with genuine volume; Brooks wasn't a complementary scorer last season, he was a primary option in the Suns' offense. Those numbers — 20-plus points a night on a 56-game sample — are the most recent form on record for him as he heads into the 2026-27 season.
Efficiency and Usage
Beyond the box score, Brooks posted a true shooting percentage of 54.0 last season, with a usage rate of 27.9 percent — a heavy share of Phoenix's offensive possessions when he was on the floor. His plus-minus for the season was -0.9. Put together, that's a player Phoenix asked to create and take shots at high volume, with efficiency that landed in the middle of the pack rather than elite, and a point differential that was roughly break-even. It's the profile of a high-usage scoring wing rather than an efficiency-first role player, and it's the form he takes into training camp for 2026-27.
Health Report
Brooks is not on the injury report as the Suns get ready for 2026-27. There is no injury history listed for him. That clean bill of health lines up with what he showed last season, when he played in 56 games for Phoenix at 30.4 minutes a night — a workload that reflects consistent availability. Barring any new development, Brooks heads into training camp as a healthy piece of the Suns roster, with nothing in the report to suggest he'll be limited or eased in. For a wing who logged heavy minutes and a heavy shot share last season, staying off the injury list matters.
What's Ahead in 2026-27
There's no trade buzz or rumor tied to Brooks in the current report, and no recent game log yet for 2026-27 — the season is just getting started for him in Phoenix. What's on record is last season's role: a 20-point scorer at 56 games and heavy minutes, with a usage rate near 28 percent. If that workload carries over, Brooks projects as a featured piece of the Suns' rotation again this season. For now, the story is continuity — same number, same team, same role — with his 2025-26 production as the baseline fans and the front office will measure this season against.
