Ruled out Monday
Allen (illness) won't play in Monday's game against the Lakers, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Analysis
Allen was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness and will miss his eighth game out of the team's last nine. The veteran guard's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Rockets. With Allen sidelined, Jordan Goodwin, Ryan Dunn and Collin Gillespie are candidates for increased playing time.

Drills two treys in return
Allen (quadriceps) recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one rebound across 26 minutes in Saturday's 130-112 loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis
Back in action following a seven-game absence due to a right quad contusion, Allen took back his spot in the starting five from Collin Gillespie, but Gillespie (29 minutes) still ended up seeing the larger share of playing time among the two guards. The blowout nature of the contest might have suppressed Allen's court time to some extent, and the 30-year-old could see closer to his season-long average of 31.6 minutes per game once he gets fully ramped back up following the injury. Given his strong averages on the season (17.9 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 three-pointers, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals), Allen could be worth picking up in shallower leagues where he may have been dropped while he was sidelined with the quad bruise.

Available Saturday
Allen (quadriceps) is available and starting Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis
Allen will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to a right quadriceps contusion. Over his last five appearances, the veteran guard has averaged 21.8 points, 3.2 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals in 28.0 minutes per contest.

Questionable to face Denver
Allen (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis
Allen has missed the Suns' last seven games due to a right quad contusion, but he has a chance to return for Saturday's home game. Royce O'Neale, Jordan Goodwin (ankle) and Collin Gillespie would likely have their roles reduced if Allen were to be cleared to play.

Won't play Friday
Allen (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Oklahoma City, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.
Analysis
Head coach Jordan Ott said Wednesday that the goal was to get Allen back "this weekend," so while he won't play Friday, it sounds like there's a decent chance he could be out there for Saturday's home game against the Nuggets. Jordan Goodwin and Collin Gillespie will continue to pick up the slack in Allen's absence.
November 28, 2025
Now doubtful for Friday
Allen (quadriceps) is now doubtful for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
The Suns initially listed Allen as out, so this is an upgrade on his status to imply he's inching closer to a return. With Allen still unlikely to play, Royce O'Neale and Collin Gillespie both remain in the streaming conversation for Friday.

Remains out vs. OKC
Allen (quadriceps) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
Allen has been dealing with a bruised right quad for quite some time, and this will be his seventh consecutive game sidelined. Allen's next chance to play will come against the Nuggets on Saturday. Jordan Goodwin and Isaiah Livers could be in line for more playing time with Allen, Ryan Dunn (wrist) and Jalen Green (hamstring) all out.
November 26, 2025
Sitting out again vs. Sacramento
Allen (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Allen continues to miss time while dealing with a bruised right quad. His next chance at a return will arrive Friday against the Thunder. With the veteran guard, Ryan Dunn (wrist) and Jalen Green (hamstring) all sidelined, Jordan Goodwin and Isaiah Livers are candidates for increased playing time.
