Phoenix Suns' Grayson Allen Out, Bradley Beal to Play against Lakers

Allen's Absence

The Phoenix Suns will be without shooting guard Grayson Allen when they face off against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Allen is dealing with a right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated prior to the team's next game.

Allen has been a key contributor for the Suns this season, averaging 10.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. He has also been one of the team's most consistent 3-point shooters.

Beal's Return

While the Suns will be without Allen, they will get Bradley Beal back in the lineup. Beal missed the team's last two games with a left hamstring injury.

Beal is the Suns' leading scorer this season, averaging 25.4 points per game. He is also one of the team's most versatile players, as he can score in a variety of ways.

Outlook

The Suns will be looking to bounce back from a 112-98 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. The Lakers, meanwhile, are coming off a 112-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

The game between the Suns and Lakers is scheduled to tip off at 10 p.m. EST on Friday night.
