Memphis Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks was fined $25,000 for skipping media responsibilities during the first round of the 2023 playoffs. Brooks left the arena without meeting with the media after three of the Grizzlies four losses to the Los Angeles Lakers.
NBA rules dictate that players must be made available to the media following playoff games. Brooks was roundly criticized for talking trash to LeBron James and the Lakers before the series began and before games, but then skipping out on meeting with the media following losses.
