Memphis Grizzlies defensive ace Tony Allen is officially out of Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers, his third straight game on the sidelines.
Allen, still dealing with a corneal abrasion inside his right eye, did not even make the flight to Cleveland. He suffered the injury when he was poked in the eye against the Golden State Warriors last Tuesday.
Allen told the Memphis Commercial Appeal on Saturday that the eye was still painful.
"My eye is messed up. It hurts," he said. "I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. Hopefully, it'll heal soon."
