Grayson Allen’s Status Uncertain for Suns-Warriors Clash Thursday

Grayson Allen’s status for the upcoming game remains uncertain as the Phoenix Suns face the Golden State Warriors. The guard has been ruled out due to soreness in his right knee. This absence comes after he had resumed playing following a quad contusion.

Recent Performance and Injury Updates

Grayson Allen returned to the lineup on November 29 and started in all six games since then, excluding the season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on December 1, which he missed due to illness. In his last game before being sidelined, he played 35 minutes against L.A., scoring 13 points alongside seven assists and three steals. This performance marked his highest points total since returning from injury, and he shot 36.4%, tying for his best shooting rate during this period.

Other Suns Injury News

  • Isaiah Livers (right hip strain) – Out since November 26.
  • Jordan Goodwin (jaw sprain) – Available but will wear a protective mask.

Goodwin has remained an active player in every Suns game since October 31, contributing five points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in his recent performance against the Lakers.

Warriors’ Injury Report

The Warriors will also be missing key players. Al Horford has not played since December 4 due to sciatic nerve irritation. His season averages reflect a decline, with just 5.6 points in 21.5 minutes per game.

  • Seth Curry – Out due to left glute injury management.
  • Pat Spencer (personal reasons) – Recently scored in double digits in five out of the last six games.

The Suns will need to adjust their strategy as they prepare to face the Warriors without Grayson Allen, while Golden State continues to cope with its injury challenges.
