Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, Pete Pranica of FOX Sports Southeast reports.

Analysis:

Allen was listed as doubtful earlier in the day, so it comes as no surprise he'll remain sidelined for an eighth straight game. Look for P.J. Hairston, Vince Carter, and Lance Stephenson to share the additional minutes made available through Allen's absence. His next opportunity to return will be Monday versus the Cavaliers.
