Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen is listed as questionable for the team's NBA Play-In game on April 14 against the Portland Trail Blazers at Mortgage Matchup Center.
"He's working to get back," Suns coach Jordan Ott said after practice on Monday, April 13. "Just more day-to-day."
Averaging a career-high 16.5 points in just 51 games, Allen experienced left hamstring soreness in the first half of the April 10 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and was ruled out for the second half.
He didn’t play in the final regular-season game on April 12 at defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, which Phoenix won,135-103.
Allen is the only one listed on Phoenix's injury report for Tuesday's game.
“We’re in a good place,” Ott said. “It’s all hands on deck.”
The Blazers have ruled out Damian Lillard (left Achilles tendon injury management), who has missed the entire 2025-26 season. They have Jerami Grant (right calf strain) listed as questionable.
Phoenix is the No. 7 team in the West, while Portland is No. 8. The winner will secure the seventh seed in the Western Conference playoffs and begin a first-round series on the road April 19 against the second-seeded San Antonio Spurs.
The loser will face the winner of the 9-10 game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors for the eighth seed in the West on April 17 and a first-round matchup against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the top overall seed in the 2026 playoffs. That first-round matchup also would begin April 19.
