It is yet to be determined if Brooks will face charges, and that will be up to city prosecutors.
The forward has been sidelined due to a fractured hand since Feb. 21 against the Orlando Magic, and was having a career year in his first season with the Suns. Brooks is averaging a career-high 20.9 points per game and 3.7 rebounds per game.
The Suns currently sit at 35-27 and are the seventh seed in the West. They are 2-2 since Brooks suffered a fractured hand. The injury is expected to sideline Brooks 4-6 weeks.
