Grizzlies’ Tony Allen ‘more hurt than people realize’ in playoff series against Warriors

SAN FRANCISCO – Memphis guard Tony Allen has a sore left hamstring and is a game-time decision for Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals Wednesday, according to coach Dave Joerger.

“If he wants to be out there, he’ll be ready to get out there,” Joerger said. “He’s been more hurt than I think people realize. He’s given us everything he’s got. The reason we’re tied in this series and the reason we have two wins is because of what he’s been doing just wreaking havoc defensively. It’s amazing. Without him, it would be very difficult.”

The Warriors over four games in the series have shot 9 for 29 from the field when guarded by Allen, who is assigned to Klay Thompson and has averaged three steals per game.
