00:00Hey everyone, let's break down the latest injury report heading into Friday's game between the
00:05Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings. For the Suns, guard Grayson Allen is moving in the right
00:10direction. He's been upgraded to questionable on the NBA's official Thursday report. Allen has
00:15missed seven consecutive games due to right knee injury management. In his 18 games played this
00:21season, he's been a key contributor, averaging 16.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists.
00:29Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro reported this past Tuesday that Allen's return was a matter of days,
00:35possibly during this upcoming three-game stretch which also includes matchups against the Oklahoma
00:39City Thunder and the Houston Rockets. On the Kings' side, they're dealing with significant absences.
00:45They were without center Domantas Sabonis, left knee partial tear, and guard Zach Levine,
00:50left ankle sprain, in their Thursday loss to Boston, reports indicate Sabonis, who has averaged 17.2
00:57points, and 12.3 rebounds in 11 games. Will miss another few weeks after suffering a partial
01:03meniscus tear in mid-November. Levine is expected to miss his eighth straight game Friday after
01:08injuring his ankle. On December 14th this season, he's averaged 20.2 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.3
01:16assists in 23 games. Staying with Phoenix, Jalen Green remains out with a right hamstring strain
01:22and is scheduled for re-evaluation in two to three weeks. The only other Suns player on the report is
01:27Jordan Goodwin, who is available but will continue to wear a protective face mask. It's clear both
01:32teams are navigating some major roster challenges right now. How much of an impact do you think
01:37these specific injuries will have on the playoff picture for these two teams as we move deeper
01:42into the season?
