Suns Update: Allen Probable for Friday Game
Phoenix Suns fans rejoice! Cameron Payne's return to the lineup wasn't the only good news to come out of Wednesday's practice. Grayson Allen, who missed the previous game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to a non-COVID illness, is probable for Friday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Allen's Impact on the Suns
Allen has been a key contributor for the Suns this season, averaging 10.5 points and 3.3 assists per game. His outside shooting and defensive hustle have been valuable assets to a Suns team that's already known for its strong defense.
His presence against the Pelicans will be particularly crucial, as the team faces a formidable offensive force in Zion Williamson. Allen's ability to defend guards and wings will be vital in limiting the Pelicans' scoring opportunities.
What to Expect from the Suns on Friday
With Allen's return, the Suns look to continue their recent success. They're currently on a four-game winning streak and are looking to maintain their momentum in the competitive Western Conference.
The Pelicans, however, present a tough challenge. Their young core, led by Williamson and Brandon Ingram, has shown flashes of brilliance this season. The Suns will need to be focused and ready to play their best basketball if they want to secure another win.
Looking Ahead: A Crucial Week for the Suns
The Pelicans game is just the beginning of a critical week for the Suns. They'll face off against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday and the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.
With a challenging schedule ahead, the Suns will need to rely on their depth and experience to navigate through the week successfully. Allen's return adds another layer of strength to their already formidable roster, giving fans hope for a positive week.
