Suns' Grayson Allen: Partial participant in practice
Rotowire
Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer said Allen (knee) was a partial participant in Monday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Allen was sidelined for Saturday's 122-105 loss to the Nuggets due to left knee soreness, but his presence at practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- leaves the door open for him to play Tuesday against the Grizzlies. If Allen is available, he could be in store for a near-30-minute role, as Bradley Beal (toe) didn't practice Monday and looks to be trending toward missing a third straight game.

If Royce O'Neale (ankle) remains on the shelf for Sunday's tilt against Charlotte, Allen should continue to have some more responsibility on his plate.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Solid line in return
Rotowire
Allen (shoulder/concussion) recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and one block across 31 minutes in Saturday's 126-108 loss to the Pacers.
Allen made his return after he had missed the Suns' previous five games, first due to a concussion and then due to a sore left shoulder. He faced no restrictions in his return to the court and delivered one of his better all-around lines of the season, but Allen probably won't have a path to a regular 30-minute role once the Suns are back to full strength. While center Jusuf Nurkic's return from a three-game suspension Monday in Philadelphia probably won't have much of an impact, Allen would likely lose playing time if guard Tyus Jones (illness) is able to play after sitting out Saturday.
