Phoenix Suns Likely to Welcome Grayson Allen Back Against Minnesota Timberwolves
The Phoenix Suns are anticipating the return of Grayson Allen for their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night, according to Suns coach Frank Vogel. Allen, who missed the previous game against Cleveland due to left hip soreness, is expected to be listed as probable for the upcoming game.
Vogel expressed optimism about Allen’s recovery, noting that the hip injury is something Allen has managed throughout his career. Despite his absence being precautionary, Vogel labeled Allen as “day-to-day” leading up to the game against Minnesota.
In Allen’s absence, Royce O’Neale stepped up admirably, contributing 17 points in the Suns’ victory over Cleveland. Vogel commended O’Neale’s performance, along with the contributions of Bol Bol and Eric Gordon, highlighting their collective effort in filling the void left by Allen.
Allen, known for his sharpshooting prowess, leads the NBA in three-point shooting with an impressive 46.9% accuracy, averaging 13.4 points per game along with 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
The Suns, currently holding the 6th seed in the Western Conference, will eagerly await the return of Allen as they continue their push in the standings. As the preliminary injury report for the game against Minnesota is set to be released later tonight, the Suns remain focused on maintaining their momentum in Friday’s matchup. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM local time.
