Will Grayson Allen Play Through Ankle Injury Game 3?

Grayson Allen suffered a right ankle inversion sprain during the team's Game 2 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The sprain is a re-aggravation of a previous injury he sustained during the playoff opener, indicating that the initial damage had not fully healed. Although the recent sprain is painful and likely swelling involved, there's no indication of structural damage, which our panel of Pro Basketball Docs suggest may not require extensive recovery time with a comeback to play as early as Game 3.

Allen's history with right ankle sprains dates back to 2019, with several incidents disrupting his play over the years. Despite these setbacks, he has managed to remain a significant contributor to his teams, thanks to his three point shooting ability. 

With the Suns trailing 0-2 in their playoff series, there's considerable pressure to bring Allen back as early as Game 3. Offensively, his impact is undeniable—he leads the league with a 46% three-point shooting percentage. However, his defensive performance is likely to be hampered due to limited mobility from the ankle sprain. The Suns will need to carefully balance the need for Allen's scoring and defense with the risk of further injury, as they work to climb out of their current deficit.
