Grayson Allen limps into the locker room after a nasty fall against the Warriors
Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen was forced to abandon his game against the Golden State Warriors at the Mortgage Matchup Center on Thursday after suffering what appeared to be an ankle injury.
Allen was going for a jumper with three minutes left in the fourth quarter when he accidentally stepped on Gary Payton II’s leg. Allen winced in pain fell to the floor.
By the time he managed to leave, he went straight to the locker room.

Allen finished with 21 points, including five 3-pointers, in 33 minutes. He also had five rebounds and four assists.
The Suns fell to the Warriors 101-97, dropping to 31-21.
Allen’s departure was a big blow to Phoenix, as he kept the team in the game along with Dillon Brooks. The Suns were outscored by the Warriors in the final quarter 25-15.
An ankle injury has already forced Devin Booker to miss the last seven games.
The 30-year-old Allen has stepped up in Booker’s absence, averaging 20.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists over the last seven games.
It remains unclear if he will have to sit out for an extended period of time. He has already missed 18 games this season.
Brooks led the Suns against the Warriors with a game-high 24 points, even though he needed 24 shots. Mark Williams added a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Suns are 6-4 in their last 10 games. They will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
Phoenix acquired Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey in a three-team deal with the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls on Thursday.
