Allen (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Allen won't return to Monday's game against the Rockets due to hip soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Allen took a hard fall in the first half, and while he was seemingly able to walk it off, the issue is evidently still bothering him. De'Anthony Melton and Desmond Bane should see additional minutes the rest of the night as a result.

Allen notched 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes in Wednesday's win at Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has been in and out of the starting lineup in recent weeks, but he's started five games in a row and seems to have won a spot in the lineup once again -- he has started in 13 of Memphis' last 14 contests. His scoring outputs have been inconsistent, but he's certainly capable of putting up big numbers, as this was his fourth game of the season with at least 20 points. He is seeing enough minutes to be productive, but now he has to be more consistent on a game-to-game basis to see an increase in his upside.

Allen will start Wednesday's game against the Heat, Evan Barnes of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old had 15 points in 23 minutes Monday in his first game action since February as he fell out of the rotation, and he'll now rejoin Memphis' starting lineup. Allen is averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.0 minutes across 12 starts this season.

Allen (coach's decision) did not see the floor during Sunday's loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was cleared from concussion protocol prior to Friday's game against Denver, but he did not see the floor in that contest, and he was once again a DNP-CD on Sunday. For now, it looks as though coach Taylor Jenkins is favoring rookie Desmond Bane as the starting two guard, with De'Anthony Melton serving as the primary backup.

Allen (coach's decision) didn't see the court Friday in the Grizzlies' 103-102 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
He was available after missing the previous five games with a concussion, but head coach Taylor Jenkins favored Desmond Bane (17 minutes), De'Anthony Melton (24) and Tyus Jones (14) for minutes in the backcourt beyond Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. Prior to the concussion, Allen had started the last eight games, so he'll likely work his way back into the rotation in the near future.

Allen will come off the bench Friday against the Nuggets, Rob Fischer of Fox Sports Southeast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is set to make his return from a four-game absence, and he'll do so off the bench as the Grizzlies stick with rookie Desmond Bane as the starting two guard next to Ja Morant. Allen had started his last eight healthy contests, averaging 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steal in that span (27.5 MPG).

Allen won't have a minutes limit during Friday's game against the Nuggets, Evan Barnes of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will return to action Friday after missing Wednesday's game due to a concussion. He should see a normal workload following his brief absence, and there's a chance he could return to the starting lineup.
