Phoenix Suns: Grayson Allen’s recovery possible against the Minnesota Timberwolves

Grayson Allen may make his return to the court against the Timberwolves

The Phoenix Suns have been without starting shooting guard Grayson Allen since January 20th due to a hip injury. Allen has been a key part of the Suns' success this season, averaging 10.9 points per game on 43.7% shooting from three-point range. In his absence, the Suns have gone 6-4, but they have missed his shooting and playmaking.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Allen is expected to make his return to the lineup on Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Allen has been practicing with the team this week and has been cleared to play.

What Allen's return means for the Suns

Allen's return is a big boost for the Suns, who are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference standings. The Suns have been one of the best teams in the league since Allen entered the starting lineup, and his return should help them make a push for the playoffs.

With Allen back in the lineup, the Suns will have a more balanced scoring attack. Allen is a catch-and-shoot threat who can also create his own shot. He will take pressure off of Devin Booker and Chris Paul, and he will give the Suns a much-needed boost on the defensive end.

The Timberwolves are a tough opponent

The Timberwolves are a tough opponent, even with Allen back in the lineup. The Timberwolves are currently in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, and they have won four of their last five games. They are led by Karl-Anthony Towns, who is one of the best big men in the league.

The Suns will need to play well in all aspects of the game to beat the Timberwolves. They will need to shoot the ball well, defend at a high level, and rebound the ball effectively. If they can do those things, they will have a good chance of winning the game and getting back on track.
