Phoenix Suns guard Dillon Brooks fractured his left hand in Saturday night's 113-110 double-overtime win over the Orlando Magic, the team confirmed Sunday.
Suns coach Jordan Ott said Brooks was still undergoing tests on the injury and wasn't sure when he might return.
"The identity doesn't change," Ott said of his team 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' injury is the latest blow for the Suns, who announced before Saturday's game that All-Star guard Devin Booker will miss at least one week because of a right hip strain that happened against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.
Brooks played seven minutes against the Magic, posting five points and three rebounds before his injury. He is a key part of the playoff-contending Suns. He entered Saturday averaging 21.2 points and 3.7 rebounds. Brooks 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.
Booker is averaging 24.7 points, 6.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 44 games this season. The 29-year-old recently missed seven straight games because of a sprained right ankle.
The Suns are one of the NBA's surprise postseason threats this season at 33-25 -- showcasing a new culture and identity behind first-year head coach Ott, Booker and Brooks, and a young core around Jalen Green, Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams and Ryan Dunn.
But injuries have started to pile up since the All-Star break. In addition to Brooks and Booker, guards Grayson Allen (ankle/knee) and Jordan Goodwin (calf) were out for Sunday night's 92-77 loss to Portland.
