Allen Exits with Hamstring Injury
Saturday, March 28
The Grizz may be the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference currently, but the No. 1 Golden State Warriors throttled them 107-84 Friday.
Matters became even worse for Memphis when Allen had to leave the game with a hamstring strain, according to Grizzlies sideline reporter Rob Fischer:
The 33-year-old Allen is recognized as one of the top perimeter defenders in the NBA, and he contributes across the board with per-game averages of over eight points, four rebounds and two steals.
Memphis can afford to play it safe with him since it has already clinched a playoff spot, but if Allen is anything less than 100 percent entering the postseason, it will definitely put the Grizzlies at a disadvantage.
