The Memphis Grizzlies have informed Dillon Brooks that he will not be brought back to the team, according to sources familiar with the matter. Brooks, a shooting guard, has been with the Grizzlies since he was drafted by the team in 2017.

This news comes as a surprise to many fans, as Brooks has been a consistent contributor to the Grizzlies over the past four seasons. In the 2020-21 season, he averaged 17.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, and he played a key role in helping the Grizzlies reach the playoffs.

It's unclear at this point why the Grizzlies have decided not to bring Brooks back. Some have speculated that the team may be looking to free up salary cap space in order to pursue other players in the offseason. Others have suggested that there may be tension between Brooks and the team's front office.

Regardless of the reason, this decision will have significant implications for both the Grizzlies and Brooks. As a result of the team's decision, Brooks will become a free agent and have the opportunity to sign with another team. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, will need to find a replacement for Brooks or adjust their roster in other ways.

It remains to be seen where Brooks will end up next season, but he is likely to draw interest from a number of teams around the league. In the meantime, Grizzlies fans will have to wait and see how the team moves forward without one of its key players from the past few seasons.
