Suns’ Grayson Allen exits vs. Lakers with hamstring injury

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Grayson Allen exited Friday’s road game against the Los Angeles Lakers with a left hamstring injury, the team announced.

Allen went to the locker room in the second quarter after grabbing the back of his leg. The Suns said Allen would not play in the second half.

He played 13 minutes before exiting to the locker room, scoring eight points on 2-for-7 shooting with four rebounds.

Allen missed Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks with a right quad contusion. He was inserted in the starting lineup on Friday with Devin Booker (right ankle injury management), Jordan Goodwin (sprained left ankle) and Jalen Green (right knee soreness) sitting out against Los Angeles.

Phoenix’s game on Friday was meaningless in terms of postseason seeding, as the Suns have clinched the seventh seed in the play-in tournament.

Allen has dealt with several injuries this season that has held him to 51 games played through the team’s 81.

The eighth-year veteran entered Friday averaging a career-high 16.7 points per game on 35% shooting from beyond the arc.
