Allen (Achilles) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is aiming to be available for the regular-season opener against the Clippers on Oct. 23, so it's not surprising to see him being held out of a preseason contest. The Suns have just one preseason game left before the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Allen (personal) will not play in Friday's preseason game against the Pistons due to Achilles soreness, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen missed the Suns' first two exhibition games due to personal reasons, but he rejoined the team Friday. Phoenix will err on the side of caution with its sharp-shooter in order to ensure his health for the regular-season. When healthy, the Duke product is expected to provide shooting off the bench as a depth wing option.

Allen (personal) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Pistons, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Allen (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Pistons, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's absence is not expected to affect his availability for Opening Night, and with the 28-year-old out the Suns will likely get an extended look at Damion Lee and Collin Gillespie. Allen's next opportunity to suit up will come at home Friday against the Pistons.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday that Tyus Jones will begin the year in the starting five, leaving Allen (ankle) to come off the bench, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is expected to retreat to the bench in favor of Jones, who will start in the backcourt alongside Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Allen made 75 regular-season appearances (74 starts) last season and averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists across 33.5 minutes per game. The 28-year-old also shot a career-high 46.1 percent from three-point range last season, and he will likely serve as a crucial offensive spark off the bench.

Allen (ankle) is out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was unable to play Friday due to a right ankle sprain that will hold him out again Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale should continue to see expanded roles in Allen's absence.

Allen (ankle) is questionable for Game 4 against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen didn't play in Game 3 of the series Friday, and his status is unclear, although the questionable tag leaves the door open for a return in what might be the final game of the Suns' season. Allen is averaging just 3.5 points per game while shooting a meager 20 percent from the field in his two appearances during the current series.

Allen (ankle) will not play in Friday's Game 3 versus the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
This is a tough blow for the Suns, as Allen has been key to Phoenix's floor spacing this season. He was able to get in a limited practice Thursday and is considered day-to-day, so the Suns could potentially get him back for Game 4 on Sunday. Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see increased run in the meantime.

Allen (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen tweaked his right ankle injury during Tuesday's Game 2 but underwent an X-ray after the matchup that came back negative. He practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and was able to run with a water treadmill. He also said that his ankle feels "better than expected." It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup, but it's encouraging that he was able to do some activity Thursday.
