Allen (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's tilt with the Lakers, Peter Fleischer of Fox13Memphis.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is in danger of missing his third straight contest due to soreness in his left knee. It will be the defensive-specialist's last chance to match up against Kobe Bryant, who scored 13 points in Allen's absence on Wednesday night. The Grizzlies may wait to see how Allen performs in pregame warmups before making an official decision. If he is ruled out, look for Vince Carter, P.J. Hairston and Lance Stephenson to see increased minutes.
