Allen (knee) recorded zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six assists, four steals and three rebounds across 22 minutes in Monday's 100-97 loss to the Rockets.
Though Allen delivered some useful numbers in the assists and steals columns, his scoreless effort on 0-for-6 shooting from the field limited the overall value of his stat line in his first game since Dec. 14. Allen had started in each of his previous 18 appearances on the season, but the Suns elected to bring him off the bench Monday to better manage his minutes after he had missed the team's previous nine contests due to right knee injury management. The 30-year-old may not move back into the starting five for Wednesday's game in Memphis, but he should see at least a slight uptick in minutes if he remains in a reserve role.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Will suit up Monday
Rotowire
Allen (knee) will play against the Rockets on Monday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Allen will shed his probable tag and return from a nine-game absence due to a right knee injury. The 30-year-old swingman 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. His return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jordan Goodwin, Rasheer Fleming and Isaiah Livers.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Tallies three steals in loss
Rotowire
Allen registered 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 116-114 loss to the Lakers.
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.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Limited in return
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.
