The Phoenix Suns host the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, and Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neal are both among the players on the team's injury report. Allen is dealing with a knee injury and is listed as questionable, while O'Neal also has a knee injury but is listed as probable. Here's everything we know about Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale's injuries and their playing statuses heading into the Suns' game against the Nuggets.
Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neal's injury status vs. Nuggets
Given that Royce O'Neale is on the Suns' injury report as probable, this generally indicates that he will be able to play. It's just a waiting game until Sans makes the upgrade available to him. O'Neale has been sidelined for the last three games and has been a productive player for the Suns.
He has appeared in 69 games this season, including 64 starts, averaging just over 29 minutes per game. He averaged 9.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals on 41.6 percent shooting from the field, 40.3 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 70 percent shooting from the free-throw line.
With Grayson Allen listed as questionable, his status is more unclear. He has been out for the last four games and likely won't have any concrete updates until closer to tip-off.
He has appeared in 44 games, including 26 starts, at a pace of just over 29 minutes per game. He averaged a career-high 17.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 40.7 percent from the field, 35.4 percent from the 3-point line and 85.9 percent from the free-throw line.
