There is no doubt that the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies has been very physical and intense, with both sides jawing at each other about the game.
Sometimes when the atmosphere is intense, players can commit reckless plays, and it seems as though that is what happened today. Dillon Brooks committed a Flagrant 2 foul on LeBron James by hitting him in the groin, and was subsequently ejected.

It is unclear if this move was intentional or not, but Dillon Brooks does have a history of committing hard fouls on opponents, especially in the playoffs. We notably saw him commit a Flagrant 2 foul on Gary Payton II last season, which resulted in a one-game suspension. It is unclear if the league will end up taking action after his latest foul on LeBron James as of right now.
The Memphis Grizzlies will definitely miss Dillon Brooks, as they need his elite perimeter defense to contain LeBron James. Hopefully, the forward can play in Game 4, as that contest will be crucial to the direction of the series. Ultimately, there’s both good and bad with Dillon Brooks, and that is obviously on display in this situation: he is trying hard on defense but ends up committing the flagrant foul and getting ejected. Hopefully, he learns from his mistakes, and we’ll see what ends up happening in the future.
