Allen (groin) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Allen appeared to aggravated an existing right groin injury during Saturday's matchup with the Timberwolves, but the injury is not considered to be serious and he's been cleared to play Monday. Look for him to remain in the starting lineup at shooting guard, although it wouldn't be surprising if he saw his minutes limited a bit. Allen is usually prided more for his defense than his offensive abilities, which often limits his overall fantasy impact.

Allen aggravated his right groin injury in Saturday's game and is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's latest setback does not seem serious, but given that it cost him four games recently, the team figures to proceed with caution. Allen's participation, or lack thereof, in the Grizzlies' morning shootaround provide a hint toward his status for Monday's contest.

Allen (groin) will start Saturday against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Allen returned to action Friday night after missing four games, and he will take the floor again Saturday despite the Grizzlies playing back-to-back days. Allen played 18 minutes off the bench Friday, but with him starting Saturday while Chandler Parsons (knee) sits out, he figures to see a boost in playing time.

Allen (groin) is listed as probable for Saturday's tilt with the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Allen returned from a four game absence Friday and recorded 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one block across 18 minutes. Assuming he plays, and given it is the second half of a back-to-back set, the Grizzlies will likely keep him on somewhat of a minute restriction Saturday. However, Chandler Parsons is listed as questionable, and if he cannot go the team may have no choice but to bump up Allen's workload.

Allen (groin) finished with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one block across 18 minutes in Friday's 80-64 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
This ugly, rock fight of a game was well-suited to Allen's hard-nosed defensive style, but quite surprisingly, the veteran was one of the game's top offensive contributors in his return from a groin injury, which had sidelined him in the preceding four contests. Allen was under a minutes restriction and came off the bench Friday, but it's expected that he'll eventually take back the starting shooting guard role away from James Ennis as he becomes further removed from the injury.

Allen (groin) will play Friday against the Mavericks, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will play off the bench Friday and will be on a minutes limit, but he will be available again after missing the last four games with his groin injury. He started three of the four games he appeared in earlier this season, so it seems likely he will get his starting spot back once he is 100 percent again.

Allen (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Allen missed the Grizzlies' past four games due to his groin injury but appears to be nearing a return. If he returns, James Ennis and Vince Carter will likely see slight reductions in their minute totals over the past few games.

Allen (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday will mark a fourth straight game on the sidelines for Allen, who continues to deal with a lingering groin injury. He's yet to be given any sort of timetable for a return, so consider him day-to-day until further information is provided. James Ennis has been starting at shooting guard in his place and should continue to do so for the length of Allen's absence. Vince Carter should also see additional minutes off the bench.

Allen (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
A sore right groin will keep Allen out for a third straight game, and while the Grizzlies are listing him as day-to-day, it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran missed further action. Look for James Ennis and Vince Carter to split most of the available minutes at shooting guard while Allen is sidelined.

Allen has been ruled out of Saturday's matchup with the Bucks due to a groin injury.
EDGE Analysis
Allen missed the first three games of the season with a sore knee bore returning for four games and sustaining a right groin injury. He will now miss his second consecutive contest due to the issue. James Ennis filled in for the veteran in the previous game, so will presumably be in line for another start. Allen's next opportunity to return will be Monday against the Jazz.
