Milwaukee Bucks’ Pat Connaughton Spills on Exchange With Dillon Brooks After Nasty Elbow to Face
Dillon Brooks had an eventful evening on Sunday night as the Houston Rockets fell to the Milwaukee Bucks, 128-119. The controversial forward was unable to finish the game after being ejected in the final minute of the fourth quarter for a profanity-laced tirade against a game official.
That wasn’t the only incident Brooks was involved in during the game.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Pat Connaughton Catches Nasty Elbow Form Dillon Brooks
At one point in the third quarter, Bucks swingman Pat Connaughton felt the full wrath of Brooks’ elbow. Connaughton, who was playing in just his second game back following a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to an ankle injury, immediately hit the deck after taking an elbow right on the face:

The good news is that Connaughton was able to eventually return to the game after the incident. The last thing Bucks fans want to see right now is the 30-year-old veteran going down again with another injury. Fortunately, this wasn’t the case on Sunday night.
“It’s the only way to come back, it’s the only to come back,” Connaughton said, smiling (h/t Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). “By the way it’s one of the harder ones I’ve taken. To be honest with you I couldn’t tell (if it was a basketball play). I just knew I got hit hard. I don’t really know how flagrant fouls work nowadays anyway. Everything can be considered a basketball play or not a basketball play, it all depends whose eyes you’re looking through.”
Connaughton Spills on Exchange With Dillon Brooks
Connaughton and Brooks were seen exchanging words later in the game, which apparently, was nothing more than some friendly banter:
“But yeah, I got hit. I joked with him afterwards,” Connaughton continued. “I said you got pads on that arm sleeve but it ain’t workin.’”
The consolation prize for Connaughton here is that his effort was not wasted in vain. While Brooks’ basket was initially counted, the game officials eventually overturned the call to penalize the Rockets forward with an offensive foul:
“A replay was triggered immediately to stop play to see whether a hostile act was not part of the natural basketball play,” crew chief Bill Kennedy said in the pool report. “During the review though we observed that Brooks made an illegal act on Connaughton while attempting to swim over and score the basketball. We penalized Brooks for the illegal contact thus disallowing the scored basket.”
You can always count on Dillon Brooks to be involved in these types of incidents on a seemingly nightly basis.

But for one runner, the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon took a tragic turn.
Cudahy police say during the marathon a vehicle hit a 28-year-old runner.
It happened before 11:30 a.m. near Henry and South Lake Drive, across from Aurora St. Luke’s Hospital.
Police say a 68-year-old Waterford woman driving southbound experienced a medical emergency. She sideswiped another vehicle, causing a rollover.
Police say the woman then hit the runner before then coming to a stop near the woods.
“These are obviously incidents we never want to see happen in any event, any live event,” said Jen Puente from the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon.
Neighbors say the southbound lanes were open to traffic, but the northbound lanes were closed for the race and the runner was alone.
There were no hard barriers blocking cars from getting close to the course.
“There were cones along the race route to indicate the race route, along with signage, public awareness and officials along the course,” added Puente. “The Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon team will continue debriefing and looking at options to ensure runner safety not just next year but perpetuity.”
The runner and two drivers involved were taken to the hospital.
One vehicle was on its side

Puente provided an update on the runner who survived but never reached the finish line.
“The runner was released from the hospital and is at home recuperating and recovering,” said Puente.
Police say the runner who was hit is from Medford, Wisconsin, which is in the northern part of the state.
FOX6 is working to get an update on the others involved in this incident.
