Allen provided 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 133-111 loss to the Nuggets.
With Jalen Green (hamstring) yet to make his Suns debut, Allen got his third straight start to begin the season and once again provided solid secondary scoring behind Devin Booker. Allen's usage will decline once Green gets healthy, but at the moment he's filling a key role in the offense, averaging what would be a career-high 12.0 field-goal attempts and 8.7 three-point attempts per game, en route to 15.7 points, 5.7 assists and 3.7 threes per contest.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Posts 18 points in victory
Rotowire
Allen contributed 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 victory over Sacramento.
Allen logged a solid line in the season opener, and he should retain a sizable role despite Jalen Green's (hamstring) imminent return. Allen was often utilized at the wing last season, and he'll compete for minutes with Ryan Dunn once Green is fully healthy.

Rotowire
Allen (hip) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Kings, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Head coach Jordan Ott signaled earlier Tuesday that everyone but Jalen Green (hamstring) would be available for the Suns, but the team later added Allen to the injury report as probable with hip soreness.

Last regular season, Allen averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers per contest in 64 games.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Good to go for season opener
Rotowire
Allen (rest) is available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
The Suns held Allen out of their preseason finale, but he's ready to play Wednesday. The veteran sharpshooter is ticketed for a starting role as well as a short-term boost in fantasy value as long as Jalen Green (hamstring) is on the shelf. Last regular season, Allen averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers per contest in 64 games in 2024-25.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Starting role with Green out
Rotowire
Suns head coach Jordan Ott said Allen (rest) will be in the starting lineup for the Suns while Jalen Green (hamstring) is out, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Green is dealing with a hamstring injury that could keep him sidelined to start the regular season. Allen will assume the starting role during that time period. Allen started in six regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 14.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 42.6 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Allen will sit out the Suns' preseason finale, and his next opportunity to suit up will come in the team's regular-season opener against the Kings on Oct. 22. Koby Brea, Jordan Goodwin and Jared Butler are candidates for a bump in minutes with Allen, Devin Booker (rest) and Jalen Green (hamstring) sidelined Tuesday.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Knocks down three triples vs. LAL
Rotowire
Allen logged 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block over 22 minutes during Friday's 103-81 preseason win over the Lakers.
Allen joined Dillon Brooks and Royce O'Neale as the three Phoenix players to knock down three triples during Friday's exhibition contest. Allen got the starting nod in Friday's contest, but he's expected to serve in a bench role assuming Jalen Green (hamstring) is cleared to play at the start of the regular season. Allen is coming off a 2024-25 campaign in which he played 24.1 minutes per game, which was his lowest since the 2019-20 season (18.9) as a member of the Grizzlies.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Scores 20 in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Allen closed Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings with 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes.
Allen started in the Suns' final three games of what can only be considered as a lost season, but the former Duke standout spent most of the campaign in a bench role while cracking the first unit at times. Allen finished his seventh year in the league -- and second with the Suns -- averaging 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game across 64 appearances (seven starts).

Suns' Grayson Allen: Moves to starting role
Rotowire
Allen is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
The Suns are tweaking their lineup ahead of this must-win game, and Allen will slot at the small forward role in place of Royce O'Neale. Allen is averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game in his previous four starts this season.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Posts 12 points in loss
Rotowire
Allen chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 133-95 loss to the Warriors.
Allen and Devin Booker were the only players to log double-digit scoring totals, and this decisive loss could spell the end of the team's playoff hopes. Allen's season can be labeled a disappointment, as he lost his place with the first unit after starting 74 games during the 2023-24 campaign. He cracked the first unit only four times this season, reducing his seasonal averages and minutes played.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Not starting Friday
Rotowire
Allen won't start Friday's game against the Celtics.
In the midst of a four-game losing streak and still without Kevin Durant (ankle), the Suns are switching up their starting lineup Friday, rolling with Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale and Oso Ighodaro. Allen dropped 23 points (8-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in 34 minutes as a starter in Milwaukee on Tuesday. However, the sharpshooter totaled just 15 points over his previous four appearances off the bench.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Goes for 23 points Tuesday
Rotowire
Allen totaled 23 points (8-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 133-123 loss to the Bucks.
Allen surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 7, and perhaps as a coincidence, that was also the last game in which he'd been part of the starting lineup. Allen can deliver solid numbers if he gets enough touches on offense, and given how depleted the Suns are right now, Phoenix could welcome Allen's uptick in his offensive numbers over the final weeks of the season.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Starting sans Durant
Rotowire
Allen is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
With Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, Allen will get a chance in the first unit. Allen should be a solid source of triples and swipes in fantasy leagues Tuesday, having averaged 15.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 4.3 three-pointers in 32.6 minutes across three contests as a starter in 2024-25.

Allen (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Allen is set to miss a third consecutive game while dealing with a left foot sprain, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's ruled out for that game as well.
