Brooks fouled Vanderbilt on a dunk with 11:03 remaining in the second quarter while Vanderbilt was airborne. Not long after, Brooks jostled Vanderbilt with his arm while he was under the rim as Austin Reaves made a pull-up jump shot with 10:17 to go in the second. Vanderbilt responded by shoving Brooks in the chest with his forearm, drawing a technical foul from referee Eric Dalen. A moment later, Vanderbilt poked his finger on the side of Brooks’ head and was assessed another tech by crew chief Curtis Blair and ejected from the game. A Lakers player told ESPN that Brooks called Vanderbilt a “p—y” during the exchange.
