Phoenix Suns guards Jalen Green and Grayson Allen are both listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Green and Allen both played significant minutes in the Suns' double-overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, raising questions about their availability for the second game of the back-to-back.

Why it matters

The Suns are already dealing with several key injuries, including to star player Devin Booker. Losing Green and/or Allen would further deplete their backcourt depth as they look to maintain their position in the Western Conference playoff race.

The details

Green played 36 minutes and Allen played 33 minutes in the win over the Magic. Allen led the Suns with 27 points, while Green hit the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. Both players have been dealing with minor injury issues, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Suns choose to rest them on the second night of the back-to-back.

  • The Suns defeated the Magic in double-overtime on Saturday, February 22, 2026.
  • The Suns are scheduled to play the Trail Blazers on Sunday, February 23, 2026.
