On the court, Dillon Brooks can be quite a nuisance.
Off the court, Brooks has somebody who is more annoying than him, and it has led to a dangerous situation.
Brooks, who is set to be traded from the Houston Rockets to the Phoenix Suns next month, has filed a request for a temporary restraining order against his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two children, Heather Andrews.
Brooks made the request for a restraining order against Andrews on Wednesday, according to TMZ Sports.
Dillon Brooks and Andrews share two daughters, a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old.
What he is claiming she has done to him is quite disturbing, to say the least.
In the filing, Brooks alleged that Andrews made violent threats against him, damaged his property, and hacked into his various social media accounts throughout their relationship.

Among her many threats, he has claimed that she said she would cut off his fingers so he couldn’t play basketball anymore.

Dillon Brooks relayed that he met Andrews during a visit to a Las Vegas nightclub in 2018 and that they began a relationship not long after. Within months of being together, she became pregnant, and that is when the “emotionally abusive” behavior started.
The NBA veteran also stated Andrews shared screenshots of their private conversations in an effort to sway public opinion against him. Despite what he was going through, they would make up enough for her to become pregnant with their second child.
After that, Andrews was “increasingly more aggressive and threatening.”
Dillon Brooks is Headed to Phoenix
Dillon Brooks has asked for a restraining order against the mother of his two children, alleging a chilling past history of emotional abuse, harassment, and alleged threats of violence.
The filing comes not long after the Phoenix Suns agreed to trade Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Brooks, Jalen Green (the No. 10 pick in this year’s NBA Draft), and five second-round picks.
Brooks averaged 14 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game this season.
He began his career in Memphis in 2017.
