Phoenix Suns<\/a> guard Grayson Allen<\/a> might be off the team’s injury report<\/a> ahead of Friday’s contest against the Sacramento Kings. This comes as a relief after he missed the last seven games with a right knee injury.<\/p>\n

Previously, Allen dealt with a lingering right quad contusion<\/a> that kept him sidelines. He came back, reclaimed his role as the team’s sniper, in addition to being the offensive connector.<\/p>\n

If Allen were to be out again, then more offensive production would fall on Collin Gillespie. The latter has been masterful, scoring 15+ points in his last seven games.<\/p>\n

Throughout the previous few games, Allen has done his pregame warmups but hasn’t done much beyond that. In the 16 games he’s played, he’s been masterful, averaging career-highs in nearly every statistical category.<\/p>\n

His ball-handling and playmaking have transformed his game into a truly complete player<\/a>. The 16.1 points and 1.7 steals per game indicate a sign of serious growth.<\/p>\n

For Phoenix, they will need all the help they can get. The Suns have been without Jalen Green since November<\/a> and have been down two starters since Allen went out.<\/p>\n

Adding the latter back into that equation can automatically pay dividends. The floor will open back up, the playmaking, and another guy who can stretch the defense out.<\/p>\n

Not to mention, his defense has also been a bonus, and it’s something Phoenix could be excited to have back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen might be off the team’s injury report ahead of Friday’s contest against the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":512477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3791],"tags":[7,7781,6,14502,2065,472,4045,2144,604],"class_list":{"0":"post-512476","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix-suns","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-grayson-allen","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-nba-injury","12":"tag-phoenix","13":"tag-phoenix-suns","14":"tag-phoenixsuns","15":"tag-reporting","16":"tag-suns"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115827427583636752","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=512476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/512476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/512477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=512476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=512476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
