Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen Out Friday
5 months agoPhoenix Suns head coach Frank Vogel says guards Bradley Beal (back) and Grayson Allen (groin) are out for Friday's game versus the Sacramento Kings. Beal practiced fully on Thursday, per Shane Young of Forbes.com, but The Athletic's Shams Charania heard on Wednesday that the talented 30-year-old scorer had just begun his ramp-up process. There is optimism that Beal, who last played on Nov. 12 due to a nagging lower-back strain, can return to Phoenix's lineup sometime within the next 10 days. Beal was still shaking the rust off in his first three games before heading back on the shelf, averaging 17.3 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes. It's unclear when Allen sustained his groin injury after dropping 21 points with four threes on Tuesday against the Lakers. Eric Gordon should soak up big minutes in Friday's clash with the Kings, while Jordan Goodwin should witness an uptick in playing time.
