Duane Rankin: "I'll never give the refs credit for what I do." Dillon Brooks on his react to techs as he hit a 3 after he and Justin Champagnie received a tech with 4:35 left in 3rd of Suns win over Wizards. "They say I antagonize or taunt when I'm speaking to a person who the possession before pushed me in my chest, which I got a T a past game before. Then jog down, call me out my name I can't say on media cause I'll get fined like $50,000, $25,000." Brooks came into game with league-high 12 techs. "They give me a T for who I am. That's weird and that's unappreciative and this is the same ref who gets manhandled in the Laker game and doesn't give a T out. I'm not going to give any names. You can go look up who it is, but this guy needs to get looked at seriously. This is why I have a stigma with refs and this is why they're so quick to T me."

Sharp-shooter Ethan Thompson, a standout for the Orlando Magic’s G-League team last season, accepted a training camp invitation from the Heat on Wednesday. Thompson also gives the Heat a player of Puerto Rican descent on its roster, a day after the team announced it would play a preseason game against the Magic Oct. 4 in Puerto Rico. This news comes after the Heat’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, announced Wednesday that it acquired the returning player rights to Thompson and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA G League Draft from the Osceola Magic, in exchange for the returning player rights to forward Justin Champagnie, a first-round pick (16th overall) in the 2025 G League Draft and a second-round pick in the 2026 G League Draft.
