GRAYSON ALLEN NEWS

Won't play against Sacramento Allen is out for Friday's game versus the Kings due to a groin strain, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when Allen strained his groin, but will cause him to miss his third game of the season Friday. With Bradley Beal (back) and Kevin Durant (ankle) also out, Eric Gordon, Jordan Goodwin and Josh Okogie are candidates to receive increased playing time. Allen's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Warriors.

Strong from deep in 20-point game Allen logged 21 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Allen had a strong showing from beyond the arc, connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three while finishing as one of three Suns with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Allen has surpassed the 20-point mark in two games this season, making four or more threes in three contests this year. Allen posted his highest point total since he tallied a season-high 26 points Nov. 8 against Chicago.

Pulls down nine rebounds Allen recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to Denver.

Impact Allen returned to action following a two-game absence due to a non-COVID illness, and he delivered a strong stat line while ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Allen has benefited from the fact that both Devin Booker (ankle) and Bradley Beal (back) have missed considerable time with injuries, and the veteran guard might remain in the starting unit when the Suns take on the Grizzlies on Saturday. To note, Allen is averaging 12.0 points per game this season across 17 appearances, all of them as a starter.

Available for Friday Allen (illness) will be available for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Allen has missed the past two games for the Suns, but he's no longer showing up on the injury report. He's had a solid campaign so far, averaging 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.4 three-pointers. He could have more touches coming his way if Devin Booker (ankle, questionable) is unable to play.

Downgraded to out Allen (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Allen will miss his second straight contest Wednesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a non-COVID illness. Josh Okogie will likely draw another start in his absence. Allen's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Denver.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Toronto Allen (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact Allen is in danger of missing his second straight game Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. While the 28-year-old guard didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, he did travel with the team.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Tuesday Allen (illness) did not practice Tuesday but is traveling with the team for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Allen did not play in Sunday's victory over the Knicks and was unable to practice Tuesday due to his ongoing illness. However, traveling with the team in advance of Wednesday's game signifies that a prompt return could be possible.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Sunday Allen (illness) is out Sunday against the Knicks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Allen will miss his first game of the season after starting Phoenix's first 16 contests. Josh Okogie is likely slated for an important role against the Knicks' league-best rebounding, while Keita Bates-Diop could also see an enlarged workload. Eric Gordon will also benefit, but his usage has been consistently high already.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 in narrow win Allen had 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 30 minutes during Friday's 131-128 win over Utah.

Impact Allen scored in double figures for a second consecutive matchup Friday but was unable to generate much production in other areas. The 28-year-old hasn't been as productive as usual in recent appearances, as he's averaged 10.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game over his last three outings.

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores team-high 26 points Allen ended Wednesday's 116-115 overtime win over the Bulls with 26 points (9-16 FG, 8-13 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes.

Impact Allen led the Suns on offense, which is surprising given that Bradley Beal made his debut, albeit on restricted minutes, and Kevin Durant was also available. Allen has adjusted well to a starting role in the early stages of the season, and while he's ticketed to move back to the bench when Beal and Devin Booker (calf) are fully healthy, fantasy managers should take advantage of his upside while it lasts.

Bradley Beal debuts for Phoenix as Suns outlast Bulls 116-115 in OT

The Suns outlasted the Chicago Bulls 116-115 in an overtime thriller in Bradley Beal’s debut for Phoenix.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023

Scores 14 points in win Allen recorded 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-106 victory over Detroit.

Impact Similar to Eric Gordon, Allen has been forced to handle a bigger-than-expected role due to the injury issues of Bradley Beal (back) and Devin Booker (calf), but he seems to be handling it well. Allen can produce regardless of whether he plays as a starter or off the bench, but he's undoubtedly enjoying an uptick in his fantasy upside due to the expanded role. While it's too early to suggest he will experience a long-term uptick, he can be a serviceable streaming option in most formats as long as he remains part of the first unit.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Allen provided 19 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Allen had a bigger role on offense with both Devin Booker (foot) and Bradley Beal (back) sidelined, and the veteran responded with his best scoring output of the young season. He has eclipsed the 15-point mark in the two games the Suns haven'r had their starting backcourt duo, and he figures to have a prominent role once again when the Suns take on the Spurs in a rematch Thursday.

Comes close to double-double Allen provided 19 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Allen had a bigger role on offense with both Devin Booker (foot) and Bradley Beal (back) sidelined, and the veteran sharpshooter responded with his best scoring output of the young season. Allen has eclipsed the 15-point mark in the two games the Suns haven't had their starting backcourt duo available, and he figures to have a prominent role until Booker and Beal return.

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Third-quarter scoring burst in win Allen finished Saturday's 126-104 win over the Jazz with 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes.

Impact After combining for just six points in the first two games of the season, Allen was much more involved on the offensive side with Devin Booker (foot) out for the second straight game. Fourteen of his 17 points came in the third quarter, helping the Suns extend their lead to 28 heading into the final frame. For as long as Booker and Bradley Beal (back) are out, Allen and Eric Gordon will be called upon to help Kevin Durant with the scoring load.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Modest results as starter Allen finished Thursday's 100-95 loss to the Lakers with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes.

Impact With Bradley Beal (back) sidelined, Allen has started each of the Suns' first two regular-season games. However, the sharpshooter hasn't been very productive, averaging just 3.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 28.0 minutes per game. Allen's floor-spacing ability should fit well with the star-studded Suns' roster, and he'll likely have a few games where his three-point shot is falling. Nonetheless, fantasy managers probably can't count on quality outings from the Duke product consistently, especially when Beal and Devin Booker (foot) return to action.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects 13 points in start Allen logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two assists across 13 minutes during Monday's 117-106 win over the Blazers.

Impact One wing position is an open competition in Phoenix, and Allen got another opportunity to show his stuff Monday. Allen is a better fit as an off-guard with the second unit, but he may be used as a scoring option in place of Josh Okogie in certain sets. Okogie is a better defender, and he's more likely to be the starter at the three to begin the regular season.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets chance to start Allen is starting Monday's preseason game against Portland, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Allen came off the bench in Thursday's exhibition, but he'll get a chance with the first unit Monday as the Suns continue to experiment with his role. He'll start alongside Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Drew Eubanks.
