Suns’ Grayson Allen reflects on his career-high scoring game
Grayson Allen scored a career-high 42 points, hitting 10 shots from 3, in the Phoenix Suns’ victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 10, 2025.
PORTLAND — Grayson Allen is listed out with a right quad contusion for the Suns game on Tuesday, Nov. 18, against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 18.
Allen missed the 124-122 loss on Nov. 16 to the Atlanta Hawks after sitting out the second half of last week’s 133-98 win over the Indiana Pacers at Mortgage Matchup Center.
Suns coach Jordan Ott said before the Hawks’ game that the team is looking to get the swelling out of Allen’s quad.
“Incredible mind. Always prepared, always thinking. He was so smart. So intelligent, so detail oriented.”
Suns coach Jordan Ott when asked about Hawks coach Quin Snyder as both were on Hawks staff under Mike Budenholzer.

Phoenix (8-6) will also be without Jalen Green with a right hamstring strain.
The Suns announced last week that Green will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks after reinjuring himself for a second time in a road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Nov. 8.
Green has only played two games for the Suns this season.
The Blazers (6-7) will be down Scoot Henderson (left hamstring tear) while Jrue Holiday (right calf soreness) is listed as doubtful.
