Grayson Allen, who has started all 16 games for the Suns, will be out for today’s game against the Knicks with an illness. Allen is averaging 11.9 points on 48.9% shooting, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 32.5 minutes per game.

Kevin Durant will be a game-time decision for today’s game, according to coach Frank Vogel. Durant is listed as questionable with right foot soreness.

Durant missed Friday’s 110-89 victory over the Grizzlies due to the injury after playing in the first 15 games. In these games, he has firmly cemented himself in the MVP conversation with averages of 31,4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists. Durant was a late add to the report for this game and was first listed as questionable before being ruled out.

Some good news for the Suns is that Drew Eubanks (left ankle sprain) and Yuta Watanabe (left quad contusion) will be available today, Vogel said. Eubanks missed Friday’s game, while Watanabe has not played in the last four.

As for the Knicks, coach Tom Thibodeau said that his team will not be missing any players today.

We will see who the Suns decide to start today and what the final determination is for KD. Stay tuned for updates.
