Allen ended with 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to the Magic.
Allen is getting back up to speed after missing two games, and his presence is sorely needed with Bradley Beal (calf) unavailable. The box score showed that Allen's totals didn't have much effect on Josh Okogie's participation in the injury scenario, which bodes well for both players' production moving forward.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Efficient 18 points in loss
Rotowire
Allen posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Timberwolves.
After a two-game absence due to right hamstring soreness, the 29-year-old led the bench with 18 points and finished as the second-highest scorer on the Suns behind Devin Booker (44). Allen has been a mainstay on the injury report this season while also taking a back seat to the club's new addition, Tyus Jones. Through 10 regular-season outings, Allen has averaged 9.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting a lackluster 37.8 percent from the field across 21.1 minutes per game.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen is questionable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento due to right hamstring soreness.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Lands four triples in win
Rotowire
Allen provided 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over Utah.
Allen connected on four three-pointers, continuing to serve as a scoring threat off the bench. After a breakout 2023-24 season, Allen's role has reduced following the offseason addition of Tyus Jones. Allen should continue to be a reliable perimeter threat and should any of the starting backcourt be forced to miss time, Allen would likely be the next man up.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Plays season-high 27 minutes
Rotowire
Allen posted nine points (3-13 FG, 3-11 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings.
With Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined and Bradley Beal (knee) battling an in-game injury, Allen was afforded a season-high 27 minutes, but he failed to capitalize. The sharpshooter is shooting only 31.9 percent from deep this season, which would be a career-worst mark. Allen shot 46.1 percent from deep last season, so some positive regression should be on the horizon.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Held out Thursday
Rotowire
Allen (Achilles) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Allen has yet to gain clearance to participate in basketball drills due to Achilles soreness, so he'll likely need to make more progress in practice before seeing game action. Thursday's exhibition is Phoenix's last of the preseason, meaning Allen's next chance to suit up will arrive in the regular-season opener Wednesday against the Clippers.
