Provides scoring punch off bench Allen supplied 21 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 110-103 win over the Nets.

Impact Allen made an immediate impact as Charlotte's sixth man, leading the team in scoring while connecting on five three-pointers in an extremely efficient shooting display. It's only one game, and he's not expected to play 29 minutes on a regular basis, but he should have a steady workload regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, particularly if the Hornets continue to rely on his perimeter shooting. His limited defensive contributions and dependence on three-point efficiency could make his fantasy production somewhat inconsistent, but there's no question this was an excellent start to his Hornets tenure.

Not listed on injury report Allen (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Allen missed three straight preseason games due to a nagging knee issue, but he'll be good to go for Opening Night. Depending on how his knee holds up, Allen could be in line for major usage, as Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) will be sidelined for the regular-season opener.

Inactive Friday Allen (knee) didn't play in Friday's 117-98 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Allen missed a third consecutive contest due to right knee soreness. If he's unable to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Atlanta, Sion James and Royce O'Neale could see increased minutes.

Doesn't play Wednesday Allen (knee) did not play in Wednesday's 114-93 preseason loss to the Celtics.

Impact Allen missed Sunday's game due to right knee soreness and remained sidelined for Wednesday's defeat. His final chance to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against the Grizzlies.

Won't play Sunday Allen will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness.

Impact Allen performed well in the Hornets' opening preseason game, posting 13 points in 14 minutes, but he will miss Sunday's contest with a knee injury. Sion James and Royce O'Neale could see extra action with Allen out of the lineup.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Nets 13 points with three treys Allen contributed 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes in Tuesday's 124-90 preseason loss to the Nets.

Impact Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) won't play during the preseason, and if their injuries linger into the regular season, that could result in major minutes and a starting role for Allen. As a starter in Phoenix last season, Allen averaged 17.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.3 triples and 1.4 steals per game on 42/37/84 shooting splits.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Knueppel Allen is starting Tuesday's preseason opener against the Nets.

Impact Allen is filling in for the injured Kon Knueppel (hamstring) on Tuesday. He's also auditioning for a starting job in the event that Knueppel can't suit up for Opening Night.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

May handle bigger role Allen could open the season as a starter if Kon Knueppel (hamstring) isn't ready for Opening Night.

Impact Knueppel has already been ruled out for the preseason, and his absence could extend into the regular season. Allen would likely see a sizable boost in streaming appeal if Knueppel isn't available for the start of the season, having averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest in 27 games as a starter for the Suns in 2025-26.
