Allen is the only one listed on Phoenix's injury report for Tuesday's game.
“We’re in a good place,” Ott said. “It’s all hands on deck.”
The Blazers have ruled out Damian Lillard (left Achilles tendon injury management), who has missed the entire 2025-26 season. They have Jerami Grant (right calf strain) listed as questionable.
Phoenix is the No. 7 team in the West, while Portland is No. 8. The winner will secure the seventh seed in the Western Conference playoffs and begin a first-round series on the road April 19 against the second-seeded San Antonio Spurs.
The loser will face the winner of the 9-10 game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors for the eighth seed in the West on April 17 and a first-round matchup against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the top overall seed in the 2026 playoffs. That first-round matchup also would begin April 19.
