Top Grayson Allen News

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Provides scoring punch off bench

    Allen supplied 21 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 110-103 win over the Nets.

    Allen made an immediate impact as Charlotte's sixth man, leading the team in scoring while connecting on five three-pointers in an extremely efficient shooting display. It's only one game, and he's not expected to play 29 minutes on a regular basis, but he should have a steady workload regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, particularly if the Hornets continue to rely on his perimeter shooting. His limited defensive contributions and dependence on three-point efficiency could make his fantasy production somewhat inconsistent, but there's no question this was an excellent start to his Hornets tenure.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Not listed on injury report

    Allen (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

    Allen missed three straight preseason games due to a nagging knee issue, but he'll be good to go for Opening Night. Depending on how his knee holds up, Allen could be in line for major usage, as Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) will be sidelined for the regular-season opener.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Inactive Friday

    Allen (knee) didn't play in Friday's 117-98 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

    Allen missed a third consecutive contest due to right knee soreness. If he's unable to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Atlanta, Sion James and Royce O'Neale could see increased minutes.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Doesn't play Wednesday

    Allen (knee) did not play in Wednesday's 114-93 preseason loss to the Celtics.

    Allen missed Sunday's game due to right knee soreness and remained sidelined for Wednesday's defeat. His final chance to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against the Grizzlies.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Won't play Sunday

    Allen will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness.

    Allen performed well in the Hornets' opening preseason game, posting 13 points in 14 minutes, but he will miss Sunday's contest with a knee injury. Sion James and Royce O'Neale could see extra action with Allen out of the lineup.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Nets 13 points with three treys

    Allen contributed 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes in Tuesday's 124-90 preseason loss to the Nets.

    Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) won't play during the preseason, and if their injuries linger into the regular season, that could result in major minutes and a starting role for Allen. As a starter in Phoenix last season, Allen averaged 17.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.3 triples and 1.4 steals per game on 42/37/84 shooting splits.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Starting sans Knueppel

    Allen is starting Tuesday's preseason opener against the Nets.

    Allen is filling in for the injured Kon Knueppel (hamstring) on Tuesday. He's also auditioning for a starting job in the event that Knueppel can't suit up for Opening Night.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: May handle bigger role

    Allen could open the season as a starter if Kon Knueppel (hamstring) isn't ready for Opening Night.

    Knueppel has already been ruled out for the preseason, and his absence could extend into the regular season. Allen would likely see a sizable boost in streaming appeal if Knueppel isn't available for the start of the season, having averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest in 27 games as a starter for the Suns in 2025-26.

  • Hornets' Grayson Allen: Traded to Charlotte

    The Suns traded Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick to the Hornets on Sunday in exchange for Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    After spending the past three years in Phoenix, Allen will join a retooling Charlotte squad that has now traded away LaMelo Ball and Bridges this offseason. Allen is coming off arguably the best year of his career, averaging 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per game across 51 outings (27 starts). However, he shot just 40.3 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from deep, a significant dip from the 2024-25 campaign. He figures to play a significant role off the bench for Charlotte and will likely compete for minutes with Sion James and Tre Mann.

  • Suns' Grayson Allen: Chips in efficient 12 points

    Allen ended with 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

    A hamstring injury might have plagued him during Phoenix's brief playoff run, but there's no question that Allen was a particularly effective nine-category fantasy asset when healthy in 2025-26. Across 51 regular-season contests, the veteran swingman averaged a career-high 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per game. With a club option for 2027-28, Allen is set to remain with the Suns for at least one more year.
