In the last section of the professional career, there is a single sentence mentioning the Charania tweet regarding "under any circumstances". I think it should be brought up that there is some doubt about the accuracy of the wording of the conversation.
Article from local newspaper that says its out of character for the front office: https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/columnists/mark-giannotto/2023/05/03/dillon-brooks-break-up-memphis-grizzlies-gm-zach-kleiman-offseason-preview-lebron-james-ja-morant/70175921007/
Article mentioning tweet from Brooks's agent disputing the comment: https://nba.nbcsports.com/2023/05/04/brooks-agent-attacks-report-grizzlies-dont-want-him-back-under-any-circumstances/#:~:text=The%20Memphis%20Grizzlies%20have%20informed,any%20circumstances%2C%20league%20sources%20say.&text=Brooks%20is%20an%20unrestricted%20free,sources%20before%20the%20playoffs%20started.
Considering there has been no confirmation of the wording (only dispute) from either first party, I think it is worth mentioning that some believe the comments to be inaccurate. Without presenting both sides it is close to presenting a rumor as fact as is.
Potential sentence to add:
On May 3, 2023, Brooks's agent disputed the report, tweeting "@ShamsCharania the leader of spreading false news and attacking players. Why any player in the league talks to this guy blows my mind. #weirdo". The Memphis Grizzlies did not comment on the report. 67.162.132.32 (talk) 03:19, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- Perhaps just remove Charania's quote altogether. Seems like we're getting into too much WP:NOTDIARY, esp. if we heve to give dueling WP:NPOV sides to the story about an off-the-record comment. Ultimately, we'll see if they resign him.—Bagumba (talk) 03:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
- Quote doesn't add much to the article, so I agree with @Bagumba. ARandomName123 (talk) 00:00, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}}template. -Lemonaka 22:20, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
