Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Jusuf Nurkić is questionable with left calf soreness for the Suns (45-31). It is unclear when Nurkić sustained this injury. Nurkić is averaging 11.2 points and 11 rebounds across 71 games for Phoenix, and the Suns are 1-4 without him this season.
Allen is probable with left hip soreness after missing Wednesday’s 122-101 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Coach Frank Vogel said pregame that this is an injury that has lingered Allen throughout his career, and it flared up after Monday’s 124-111 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, but now Allen is “feeling better.”
