Allen (illness) is active, but he won't start Thursday's contest against the Mavericks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen hasn't made an appearance in the Bucks' last two games and, despite being active, will likely remain on the bench once again. In his absence, Jordan Nwora will draw another start. If Allen doesn't play, his next chance to return to action will be Christmas Day against the Celtics.
