Tony Allen: (Hamstring) Will Play Game 6

Allen (hamstring) told reporters Friday morning that he will play in Game 6, despite being only "60 percent" healthy, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

While it sounds as though Allen won't be close to full health, he'll return to action after sitting out Wednesday's Game 5 blowout loss. With the Grizzlies facing elimination, Allen said he expects to start, though it's unclear if coach Joerger will stick with Jeff Green, who was inserted into the Game 5 startling lineup in hopes of jumpstarting the offense.
