After missing the late portion of the preseason due to an illness, Allen is good to go for the season opener and will start at small forward Thursday with Khris Middleton (wrist) and Pat Connaughton (calf) both sidelined. In 66 appearances last season, Allen averaged 11.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.3 minutes per contest.

Allen (illness) will not play in Wednesday's preseason game versus the Nets, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports
EDGE Analysis
Allen will miss Tuesday's and Wednesday's preseason games due to a non-COVID illness. However, Allen should still be good to go for the regular-season opener on Oct. 20 versus Philadelphia, barring word that the illness is long-term. Allen is in line to be the team's starting shooting guard once he returns to the lineup.

Allen will not take the floor Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is one of a trio of Bucks who will miss Tuesday's tilt against the Nets while sick, and it's possible he's seen his last preseason action of the year with the exhibition finale just 24 hours later. Either way, it seems unlikely the issue will cost him the regular-season opener Oct. 20 versus the 76ers.

Allen (finger) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, according to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
EDGE Analysis
Allen underwent a routine offseason procedure in June, but he's more than recovered now and will get the starting nod at shooting guard due to the fact that the Bucks are resting quite a few regulars. Allen averaged a career-high 11.1 points per game last season.

Allen recently underwent a routine offseason procedure to increase the stability of his left ring finger, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had a four-game stretch during the playoffs where he averaged 18.3 points per game, but he finished the Bucks' final five playoff contests posting just 4.0 points on 26.5 percent shooting. It's unlikely that a finger issue on his left hand impacted his shooting ability, but it's certainly worth noting after his poor performances. The fourth-year guard signed a two-year, $20 million extension in October of 2021 and will likely be a key piece of Milwaukee's rotation next season.

Allen provided eight points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 victory over Boston. He also had three turnovers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's hot shooting conveyed in the first round never carried into Milwaukee's matchup against Boston. Allen is shooting just 31.3 percent on 3.2 attempts from beyond the arc across five contests against the Celtics. However, he racked up five assists while still making a slight scoring impact in the Bucks' pivotal Game 5 victory.
