We're not sure where in the world every member of the Phoenix Suns is right now. After all it is their offseason, with some well deserved vaction time after a season in which they exceeded expectations.
We did get a Dillon Brooks sighting a few days back however, hilariously showing up courtside to watch the Los Angeles Lakers get swept out of the playoffs.
Brooks back to support Mercury in first home game of new season
Brooks was back again Tuesday in much more wholesome circumstances, as he took in the Phoenix Mercury's first home game of the WNBA campaign.
It is not like he had far to travel having come back from Los Angeles, but the fact he was there at all bodes well for the future.

Brooks has never given any indication that he wants to be elsewhere and he quickly became the heart and soul of The Valley in his first season there.
It is actually the Suns who may not see this as a long-term thing, but they would be foolish to not want him around as they continue building towards contention.
The Mercury are also owned by Mat Ishbia, so Brooks going along to the game again shows that he is all in on the project that is being built in Phoenix.
The 30-year-old is likely to get out of town soon (he mentioned The Bahamas as a possible vacation destination during exit interviews), although you wouldn't bet against him sticking around all summer.
He looks like the type to bring the group together for offseason workouts, and has already taken the likes of Collin "Villain Jr." Gillespie under his wing.
Both Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro could benefit massively from another offseason like that as well, while appearing in both Los Angeles and Phoenix like this could mean the best is yet to come.
Brooks has moved away from some of the antics he was remembered for with the Memphis Grizzlies in recent years, but turning up to laugh in the face of LeBron James was a return to that.
If he can combine that pettiness with being the best player in a playoff series for the Suns as he was this season, there is no telling how important he could become to this team.
Add to that his clear love of Phoenix and support of the Mercury, and these sightings are very encouraging.
