Available Wednesday Brooks is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, NBA freelance journalist Billy Reinhardt reports.

Impact The Nets are resting Nic Claxton (ankle), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Spencer Dinwiddie (not injury related) on Wednesday, while Lonnie Walker (hamstring) and Ben Simmons (back) remain out, so Brooks, Dariq Whitehead, Keon Johnson and Noah Clowney will all be available versus Milwaukee and could crack the rotation. Brooks has made seven appearances this season, averaging 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.0 minutes per game.

Plays 15 minutes off bench Brooks closed with six points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Brooks wasn't particularly efficient during Thursday's matchup, but he played double-digit minutes for Brooklyn for the third time this season. He's had a limited impact in the NBA early in the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game over seven appearances.

Shines from three-point range Brooks recorded 17 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 win over the Heat.

Impact After practicing with the G League's Long Island Nets on Tuesday, Brooks rejoined Brooklyn for Wednesday's game and ended up surprisingly finishing second on the team in scoring in what was his season and Nets debut. If Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) and Dennis Smith (hip) are forced to miss additional time, Brooks will likely continue to hold down a spot on the second unit in the short term. Once the Nets are closer to full strength, Brooks, one of the organization's three two-way players, will likely see most of his action in the G League.

Joining 15-man roster Brooks has been promoted in advance of Wednesday's game against Miami, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.

Impact Brooks will join the Nets' roster with Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) and Dennis Smith (hip) doubtful to suit up. Brooks' score-first archetype is slightly redundant with Cam Thomas booming on a nightly basis, but the 25-year-old profiles as guard depth for the shorthanded Nets.

Inks deal with Atlanta Brooks signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hawks on Thursday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brooks' signing brings the Hawks' roster to a full 20 for training camp. He played 54 games on both the Rockets and Raptors last season and averaged 5.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.5 steals in 15.6 minutes. Brooks will compete to join the team's guard rotation.

Back to bench Brooks will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Austin Krell of USA Today reports.

Impact As expected, Brooks heads back to the bench with Fred VanVleet (knee) available. It's not clear if Brooks will crack the rotation in the series.

Starting Friday Brooks is starting Friday's game against the Rockets, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Brooks has totaled just nine minutes across the Raptors' last six games, but he'll be in the starting lineup Friday with Fred VanVleet (knee) sidelined. Across nine starts this season, Brooks has averaged 9.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.7 minutes per game.

Dishes out season-high six assists Brooks closed with six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 131-91 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Brooks played 20-plus minutes for the first time since a March 12 start and made the most of his opportunity by filling out the stat sheet. His increased playing time was likely due to the fact that Fred VanVleet (knee) was unable to return to the game after a prolonged delay due to a fire in Scotiabank Arena. Regardless, it appears Brooks, who was recently signed to a multi-year deal with Toronto, has a firm grasp on the Raptors' top backup guard role, at least until Malachi Flynn (hamstring) and Gary Trent (toe) return to the rotation.

Signs second 10-day contract Brooks signed a second 10-day contract with the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brooks appeared in four contests during his first 10-day deal, but he really only saw significant playing time during a March 12 start against Denver. During the contest, he totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 22 minutes.

Does little in spot start Brooks ended with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 127-115 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact The Raptors' frontcourt did all the heavy lifting in the win, and no Toronto guard even managed to score in double digits. Brooks was no exception in only his third game with Toronto and his first start, but with Fred VanVleet (knee) still having his workload managed and Malachi Flynn (hamstring) sidelined, the 23-year-old could get some additional opportunities to try and make an impact in the short term.
