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.
