Memphis Grizzlies guard Tony Allen is currently nursing an eye injury, and there is no timetable for his return to action.
According to Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal, however, it looks as though the 32-year-old veteran could miss a significant amount of time:
Allen suffered the corneal abrasion in a Dec. 16 game against the Golden State Warriors after getting poked in the eye, per Teresa Walker of The Associated Press:
According to Grizzlies sideline reporter Rob Fischer, Allen dealt with a similar injury during the playoffs last season:
Allen is a key player for the Grizzlies as a defensive stopper and overall leader, but they have some breathing room as the first-place team in the Western Conference's Southwest Division at 21-5.
The 11-year pro will be even more vital as the season progresses, so the best course of action at this point is likely to play it safe.
