Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Suns entered tonight’s matchup with both Allen and Bol listed as questionable.
Vogel said that Allen will be a game-time decision and wants to see how his ankle feels. Allen has now been ruled out, according to AZ Central’s Duane Rankin.
Allen suffered the ankle injury during the second quarter of the Suns’ 118-105 victory over the Miami Heat Monday after stepping on Josh Okogie’s foot and did not return. Vogel said Allen would be day-to-day with the injury postgame.
Allen is averaging 13.2 points on a league-leading 49.8% 3-point shooting in 42 games for the Suns.
Eric Gordon, who had a team-high 23 points Monday, will start in Allen’s place.

As for Bol, Vogel said he will dress but likely not play unless it’s a blowout situation because he wants him to get some practices under his belt.
Bol has missed the last nine games with the injury. In the four contests Bol has played in 2024, he has registered over double-digit minutes in all four after not recording a game over five minutes in 2023 with Phoenix. Bol averaged 8.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 16.8 minutes off the bench in these four games.
Frank Vogel said Grayson Allen (ankle) game-time decision, wants to see how it feels and Bol Bol (foot) will dress but won't play unless it's a blowout situation.
And said that's a maybe.
Wants to get Bol a practice or two in. Said Suns will practice Thursday. #Suns #NetsWorld

Nets Injury Report
The Nets will be missing a lot of players, but most notable is Ben Simmons. Simmons returned after a long absence in the Nets’ blowout victory over the Jazz Monday and posted a near triple-double off the bench. However, he suffered a knee contusion in the game.
Ben Simmons is out for Nets-Suns tonight due to left knee contusion. He returned on Monday after two-month absence, posting 10 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds vs. Utah. Simmons developed swelling in knee from a hit during game, sources say, but tests showed no further issue.
