Grayson Allen Traded To Memphis
Mike Conley, sending him to Utah in exchange for Grayson Allen, Jae Crowder, Kyle Korver and a pair of first-round picks. Allen is the big headliner of the deal for the Grizzlies, as the other two players are likely to play smaller roles or, in Korver's case, possibly no role in Memphis. But Allen, a first round pick last year, was a strong college player at Duke, and while he struggled from deep last year, shooting just 32.3 percent from three on 2.6 attempts per game, he was a strong shooter coming into the league. Memphis will hope he regains that, and as the team enters a full rebuild, Allen should get plenty of run off the bench to prove it. He's a rising fantasy option, though that's mostly because he had virtually no value on a Jazz team that was looking to win now.

Grayson Allen Continues To Sit Wednesday
Grayson Allen (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The veteran sharpshooter is trying to recover from a left foot strain. The Suns are also without Bradley Beal (hamstring), prompting head coach Mike Budenholzer to experiment with Collin Gillespie in the starting unit on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. With Allen and Beal unavailable, Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale, and Cody Martin are also given additional playing time.

Grayson Allen Sits Out Fourth Straight Game
Grayson Allen (foot) will remain on the shelf for Monday's encounter with the Toronto Raptors. He is nursing a left foot strain. Due to Allen's absence, Collin Gillespie has entered the rotation lately, while Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale are also in a position to log a few extra shifts. Following a lengthy slump, Dunn has averaged 14.5 points and 3.5 steals over the past two games. O'Neale provides more consistent production, though his fantasy potential is limited.

Grayson Allen Not Playing Friday
Grayson Allen (foot) will miss Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings due to a left foot strain. With the sharpshooter sidelined, Ryan Dunn and Tyus Jones are expected to see increased minutes. On the season, Allen has averaged 10.7 points per game and is shooting 43.4% from three, making him a valuable floor spacer for the Suns. His next opportunity to return will be Sunday against the Lakers, and the Suns are hopeful to have him back soon.

Grayson Allen Ruled Out Versus Houston
Grayson Allen (foot) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Allen will be out of action due to left foot soreness. His next chance to return to the Suns rotation is on Friday against the Kings. Royce O'Neale and Tyus Jones will likely see extra minutes with Allen out. Jones is a solid streaming option for this evening as he finished with 12 points, three rebounds, seven assists and one steal during 29 minutes during Monday's 120-118 loss to Memphis.
