In a stunning revelation following Game Five of the playoffs, Dillon Brooks has openly admitted to targeting Steph Curry’s injured thumb, sparking outrage and debate across the league. During a tense postgame interview, Brooks responded to accusations from Warriors broadcasters who suggested his actions were intentional, saying, “If you’re going to come play the game injured… I would attack that ankle every single time.” His brazen admission raises questions about sportsmanship and the ethics of targeting opponents’ injuries.

The incident unfolded as Brooks seemingly made contact with Curry’s thumb, which has been a source of pain and limitation for the Warriors’ star. Steve Kerr, the Warriors’ head coach, echoed the frustration, acknowledging that while such tactics are often part of the game, they can lead to dangerous play. “It happens around the league,” he stated, highlighting a troubling trend where players exploit injuries rather than compete fairly.

Tensions escalated further as Brooks and Curry exchanged words at the end of the game, culminating in a shove and a headbutt that ignited an already charged atmosphere. The implications of Brooks’ admission are profound, as they challenge the integrity of the sport and the safety of its players.

As the playoffs heat up, this controversy casts a shadow over the remaining games, leaving fans and analysts alike questioning the unwritten rules of the game. Will the league take action against Brooks for his blatant disregard for Curry’s injury? The fallout from this incident is just beginning, and all eyes will be on the Warriors as they navigate both the physical and psychological impacts of this shocking admission.
