His next chance to play is in the second leg of the Suns' back-to-back set Monday against the Rockets. Royce O'Neale should remain in Phoenix's starting lineup for as long as Allen is sidelined.

Rotowire
Allen (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Allen appeared in just four games in December, during which he averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 29.0 minutes per contest.

Allen battled to a double-digit scoring performance for a third straight game and was active on both ends of the court. He tied his season highs in assists and steals, and he's remarkably recorded at least one steal in each of his last 11 appearances.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Ejected Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Thunder after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Allen threw his body into Chet Holmgren while attempting to fight through a screen, and the foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 after a review. He'll finish the game with 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 22 minutes. The Suns are down nearly 40 points late in the third quarter, so Allen's departure shouldn't change much. If anything, Phoenix may turn to its reserves a little earlier.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Drops 12 in win
Rotowire
Allen racked up 12 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 108-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Allen has not shot the ball well recently, averaging 10.3 points on a measly 30.8 percent from the field and 18.2 percent from three in his last three contests after being sidelined for seven games with a quadriceps injury. It is likely Allen is getting his legs back under him and will take some time to ramp up and readjust to game speed so he can return to the tear he was on to start the season, averaging 18.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.3 blocks and 3.9 threes on a blistering 44.7 percent clip in the 13 games before his injury.

Rotowire
Allen produced nine points (3-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to Houston.
Allen returned from a one-game absence due to an illness, although that is where the positives end. Phoenix was terrible in this game, resulting in limited minutes for all the starters, including Allen. Look for him to turn things around when the Suns travel to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves on Monday.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Drills two treys in return
Rotowire
Allen (quadriceps) recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one rebound across 26 minutes in Saturday's 130-112 loss to the Nuggets.
Back in action following a seven-game absence due to a right quad contusion, Allen took back his spot in the starting five from Collin Gillespie, but Gillespie (29 minutes) still ended up seeing the larger share of playing time among the two guards. The blowout nature of the contest might have suppressed Allen's court time to some extent, and the 30-year-old could see closer to his season-long average of 31.6 minutes per game once he gets fully ramped back up following the injury. Given his strong averages on the season (17.9 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 three-pointers, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals), Allen could be worth picking up in shallower leagues where he may have been dropped while he was sidelined with the quad bruise.
