Grayson Allen Brings His Shooting to Charlotte's Backcourt
newsroom · 1 h agoGrayson Allen is with the Charlotte Hornets for the 2026-27 season after spending last season with the Phoenix Suns. He is not on the injury report. The season has not started, so his numbers below are from 2025-26 with Phoenix.
Who is Grayson Allen
Grayson Allen is a 30-year-old guard out of Duke, listed at 6-3 and 198 pounds. He wears No. 8 and enters his 8th NBA season. Last season he played for the Phoenix Suns. Now he is on the Hornets roster for 2026-27. Charlotte fans who know him mostly from his shooting numbers with Phoenix will see the same skill set on the perimeter this year. He is a combo guard who can play on or off the ball, and his track record last season shows a player who shoots efficiently and does not turn the ball over much.
Last season by the numbers
With the Suns in 2025-26, Allen appeared in 51 games and averaged 28.8 minutes a night. He put up 16.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, with 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks. His turnover rate was low at 1.6 per game. Those are last season's numbers with Phoenix, not projections for Charlotte. His usage rate sat at 23.1 percent, meaning he was a significant part of the Suns' offense when he was on the floor. His plus-minus was 0.4, close to even, over that stretch.
Shooting profile
Allen's calling card last season was efficiency. He shot 40.3 percent from the field, 34.9 percent from three-point range, and 85.7 percent from the free-throw line with Phoenix. His true shooting percentage was 56.8 percent, a solid mark that reflects his ability to score without wasting possessions. That free-throw number in particular stands out. For a Hornets team looking for reliable perimeter shooting, those are the numbers Allen brings into 2026-27, even though they were compiled with a different team last season.
Health report
Grayson Allen is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history listed for him. Heading into the 2026-27 season, he is a healthy addition to Charlotte's roster with no known physical concerns holding him back.
