Grayson Allen Injures Ankle in Game 2
Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen experienced an unfortunate setback during Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first-round series on Tuesday. Allen aggravated the sprained right ankle he initially suffered in the playoff opener, causing him to leave the game in the third quarter. The Suns eventually lost the game 105-93, leaving Minnesota with a 2-0 lead in the series.
X-rays following the injury showed no major damage, and Coach Frank Vogel stated that Allen will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis moving forward. Despite the setback, Allen remains hopeful for his recovery and readiness for Game 3 scheduled for Friday.
Details of the Injury
Allen provided insight into the incident that led to his ankle aggravation, revealing that it resembled the manner in which he initially injured it in Game 1. The guard explained that the injury occurred as he landed awkwardly on his right leg while attempting to block a shot during a defensive play against Mike Conley.
Following the injury, Allen had to be assisted off the court and into the locker room for further evaluation. Despite the discomfort, Allen’s determination and resilience were evident as he expressed his desire to continue contributing to the team’s efforts on the court.
Coach Vogel acknowledged Allen’s resilience and praised his commitment to playing through adversity. Despite the challenges, Allen’s dedication to the team’s success remained unwavering.
In Game 1, Allen struggled to find his rhythm, shooting 0-for-3 from the field and scoring four points in 25 minutes. His performance slightly improved in Game 2, where he managed to score three points on a 1-for-2 shooting effort in 17 minutes of play.
Despite the setback, Allen’s teammates and coaching staff remain optimistic about his recovery and potential impact in upcoming games. The team will continue to monitor his progress closely and provide the necessary support for his rehabilitation process.
