Suns Suffer Another Blow as Grayson Allen Ejected in Heated Clash
The Phoenix Suns’ evening took a turn for the worse in a game already spiraling out of control. With just over five minutes left in the third quarter and the team trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder 94-58, tensions flared on the court following a defensive play involving Grayson Allen and Chet Holmgren.
As Allen attempted to navigate a screen, his contact with Holmgren sparked an immediate reaction. What began as a routine defensive maneuver quickly escalated into a scuffle, prompting officials to intervene. After a thorough review of the play, the referees deemed Allen’s actions to be more than just a foul, upgrading it to a flagrant 2. Consequently, the guard was ejected from the game, adding yet another layer of difficulty to an already challenging night for the Suns.
Allen’s ejection marks a significant moment for a team already grappling with injuries to key players. He now joins fellow starters Jalen Green and Devin Booker on the sidelines, leaving Phoenix to navigate the remainder of the game without several of its core contributors. The Suns’ struggles continue to deepen, highlighting the uphill battle they face as they seek to regain their footing this season.
