Memphis Grizzlies decided to part ways with Dillon Brooks after a disappointing end to their 2023 season.
If there is one thing that turned out well after the Memphis Grizzlies' disappointing 2023, it is Dillon Brooks' Net Worth in 2023.
Grizzlies ended the regular season as the #2 seed in the Western Conference, only to be eliminated by the #7 Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
According to some NBA fans, Brooks was used by the organization as a scapegoat. His trash talks targeting Lebron James only fired up the 4-time MVP, leading to their loss.
For that, the Canadian forward was let go.
He instantly found a home, though, while Memphis is not even a shell of what they were last season.
Brooks found the release a blessing in disguise.
Dillon Brooks Net Worth 2023: $7 Million
The current Houston Rockets guard is currently worth $7 million, according to CA Knowledge.
As a 45th overall pick in 2017 by his current team, his name and game were not expected to blow up instantly. In his first season, he only earned $850,000 (around $1 million when adjusted for inflation).
He worked his way up in the Grizzlies organization and eventually landed an eight-digit annual salary by the 2020-2021 season when his team was starting to turn heads.
That net worth is expected to rise in the coming seasons after his contract with the Rockets that saw him sign a four-year, $80 million deal. The agreement makes him the 64th best-paid player in the league, a far cry from his 128th standing from last season.

He is also the second best-paid player in the Rockets roster next to one-time All-Star Fred Van Vleet, who transferred to Texas from the Toronto Raptors this season.
Many were surprised by this deal made by the Rockets. Some analysts explained that it is the only way the team can attract veterans.
However, Lebron, the man he consistently antagonizes, thinks he earned it.
"He's put in the work since he came out of Oregon, and that's what Houston found value in and he's here. So no, I think it has nothing to do with that."
Brooks' source of income is his NBA salary, as there are no recorded endorsements yet. There is no shoe deal, too.
Dillon Brooks Wealth
Brooks' off-court activity is not that well-documented. He does not seem to live a lavish lifestyle.
Still, he got properties worthy of an MTV Crib episode.
He owns a $1.2 million mansion in Collierville, Tennessee, although it is unclear whether it will still be his in the long run. He also owns a $4 million house in Canada, where he hails from.
Brooks is also into luxury cars. He boasts a Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster and an Audi R8 Spyder. With his current salary, it will not be surprising if he adds more soon.
Dillon Brooks' popularity is only expected to grow bigger. He loves being the villain, and the NBA needs one from time to time.
