Dillon Brooks gets 'more ammunition' for LeBron rivalry with Suns schedule

The NBA released the full regular-season schedule on Thursday, and Dillon Brooks immediately zeroed in on the Phoenix Suns’ games against the Philadelphia 76ers—especially the matchup involving LeBron James. Brooks will face James fewer times than in their earlier meetings because James moved to the Eastern Conference this offseason. Phoenix hosts Philadelphia on Dec. 30, the day of King James’ birthday, with the second meeting in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Feb. 17. “I’m excited… that’s more ammunition,” Brooks said. He added that the change should build anticipation rather than disappoint. James’ move also alters the Suns’ rivalry landscape.
