After being limited to just 53 games this season, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks needs to be on the court as much as possible to gel with his teammates ahead of the playoffs. He’ll get another opportunity to do that Tuesday vs. the Houston Rockets, though it initially looked as though Brooks would have to miss the contest.

The NBA rescinded what would have been Brooks’ 18th technical foul of the season, the league announced Monday. Because of that, Brooks will be allowed to play when the Suns take the court against the Rockets on Tuesday.

Brooks was initially charged with a technical foul with 7:24 to go in the fourth quarter. The foul, if it was not rescinded, would have been Brooks’ 18th technical of the year. Under NBA rules, players are subject to a one-game suspension upon registering 18 technical fouls in a single season.

The NBA did not announce why it rescinded the call against Brooks.

Brooks will have to take advantage of the opportunity. Including Tuesday’s game, the Rockets have just four games remaining in the regular season before the playoffs begin. Brooks returned from a fractured left hand in late March, and has played in three games prior to his near-suspension.

Despite the missed time, there’s an argument to be made Brooks is playing his best basketball this season. The veteran is averaging a career-high 20.4 points per game and continues to play defense at a high level.
