Jamaree Bouyea Absent; Grayson Allen Cleared for Grizzlies Clash

In a significant update ahead of the Phoenix Suns’ upcoming clash against the Memphis Grizzlies, guard Jamaree Bouyea has been ruled out for the second consecutive game due to concussion protocol. Bouyea was last in action for nine minutes during a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Since signing a two-way contract with the Suns on November 17, he has averaged 7.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 19 games.

On a more positive note for the Suns, Grayson Allen is back on the court after missing nine games due to a right knee injury. He returned in the game against the Houston Rockets but did not score, going 0 for 6. However, Allen contributed significantly with six assists, four steals, and three rebounds in 22 minutes from the bench.
