The Memphis Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks was ejected less than three minutes into Tuesday night’s 106-101 win in Game 2 of the second round of the playoffs over the Golden State Warriors for a flagrant foul 2 that left Gary Payton II with a broken elbow.

Brooks was chasing down Payton when he hit him in the head in the air, sending him down hard. X-rays showed Payton fractured his left elbow and he will undergo an MRI today for further evaluation.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was furious at the foul, and said after the game, “I don’t know if it was intentional, but it was dirty. . . . He broke the code.”
