Grizzlies Tell Dillon Brooks He Will Not Be Brought Back

The Dillon Brooks era in Memphis is officially over. Brooks is a pending unrestricted free agent and the Grizzlies have informed the former Oregon product that he won’t be brought back under any circumstance. Grizz fans everywhere are probably shedding tears of joy right now based on how Brooks’ 2022-23 season ended.

Shams Charania of The Athletic was the first to report the news:

The Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending free agent Dillon Brooks that he will not be brought back under any circumstances, league sources say.

“The Memphis Grizzlies have informed pending unrestricted free agent Dillon Brooks that he will not be brought back under any circumstances, league sources tell The Athletic.”

“After his tumultuous end to the season, Brooks was told about the Grizzlies’ decision to move on in exit meetings with team officials in recent days, those sources said. Memphis and Brooks discussed in exit meetings that it’s best for both sides to have a fresh start, sources added.”

Brooks, 27, was a sour puss during the postseason loss to the Lakers. Brooks trash talked LeBron saying that he wouldn’t respect him unless he put up a 40 piece. Brooks then refused to speak to reporters after the series loss. That’s the kind of guy Brooks is. Willing to dish it. Unwilling to take it. That’s exactly why the Grizzlies are pushing him out the door.

Dillon Brooks Needs To Go

Our resident Grizzlies fan Jackson Law will surely be happy with this news. Jackson has been clamoring for the Grizz to trade Brooks for years. Instead, they will get nothing for him and will watch him walk out the door for nothing. Put Jackson in charge?
