It was reported late last week that Allen was doubtful for the entire first
round of the playoffs, so it comes as no surprise he won’t be available against
the Spurs on Monday. He’ll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis, but
currently, it’s unlikely he’d see the court again this season if the Grizzlies
aren’t able to make it out of the first round. Wayne Selden started in his place
in Game 1 and could be in line for a second straight start, while both Vince
Carter and James Ennis should also see added minutes.
